Everything you need to photograph with Minox cameras: cut film, load cassettes, develop and digitize — step by step.
Cut film
Minox film (9.2mm) is cut from standard 35mm or 120 film. Our film cutter has an integrated safety cover and is ready to use immediately.
Tip: Film length for cutting
Approx. 65 cm per 36-exposure Minox film. The basic cutter splits a 35mm roll lengthwise into two 9.2mm strips over the full film length. That’s enough for four complete 36-exposure Minox films plus two shorter films with 15-18 exposures — about €3 per film instead of €26 for original Minox film.
Warning: The film cutter contains sharp blades. Handle carefully when opening for the first time. Blades are replaceable — push out from below.
Load cassette
Insert the cut film into the reusable 8x11 cassette. Compatible with Minox A, B, BL, C, EC, LX, TLX, CLX and Yashica Atoron.
Tip
Attach a small strip of tape at the film end — this allows you to remove the film in daylight without exposing the rest.
Developing
8x11 film (9.2mm) does not fit standard reels. Our developing spools are compatible with Jobo and Paterson tanks and allow even development.
Scanning & digitizing
The tiny 8x11 negative (88 mm²) needs maximum resolution. Camera scanning with a macro lens delivers ~12,000 ppi — better than any flatbed scanner.
Batteries & rechargeable batteries
Minox A and B work purely mechanically without a battery. Models with built-in CdS light meters require a battery adapter.
Which battery does my Minox need?
- Minox A, B: No battery needed (mechanical)
- Minox BL: PX625 (1.35V) — CdS light meter
- Minox C, EC, LX, TLX, CLX: PX27 (5.6V) — CdS light meter & electronics
