Minox film in the Frugal Photographer Catalog

The films offered on this page are used in Minox 8x11, Acmel, Fujicolor MX, and Yashica Atoron and Atoron Electro cameras, in "lighter cameras" like the Cosmo Omega, and in other subminiature cameras. They deliver 8mm x 11mm subminiature images of impressive quality — click here to see examples.

Guide to choosing your Minox film
Minopan black and white films are cut down at the Minox factory from Agfa APX bulk rolls, and are processed the same as Agfa APX.
Minocolor 100 and Minocolor Pro are processed in standard C-41 color chemistry.

Minopan 25 is a very fine grained black and white film that you should use if your pictures are to be enlarged beyond about 4"x6" (about 10x15cm). Its disadvantage is a speed rating of 25 (DIN 15) which limits its usefulness indoors and outdoors in low light, unless you use a tripod and relatively long exposure times, or flash. It is fast enough for hand-held exposures outdoors in daylight. It can yield images of spectacular beauty.

Minopan 100 has moderate grain that is visible but usually not objectionable on 4"x6" (10x15cm) prints. Its speed rating of 100 (DIN 21) permits hand-held photography in outdoors daylight, and flash photography indoors. It has inherently less contrast than Minopan 25. It is probably the most useful all-round Minox black and white film.

Minopan 400 is a high speed (400, DIN 27) film for hand-held photography outdoors in low levels of daylight, such as early or late in the day, in shadows or under shelters. It can be used indoors with or without flash. Its grain structure is noticeable and should be taken into account during the process of visualizing the finished print. It is probably the most useful Minox film for expressive candid portraiture.

Please read this important information:

We are one of the higher-volume Minox film dealers in the world, and we try to keep adequate stocks on hand so you can order the films you need, in any reasonable quantity.

But the unfortunate fact is that Minox films sell in low volumes compared to conventional films, which makes it difficult for even a top dealer to always have only fresh dated stocks on hand. The majority of the Minox films we ship are fresh dated, but not all.

In April of 2007, we installed a freezer in our shipping warehouse, and when each new shipment of factory-load Minox film arrives, it is immediately put into frozen storage. Freezing completely stops the normal deterioration related to a film's age.

The Minox films you buy from us are shipped to you directly from the freezer. This means you receive fresh film, no matter what the "process-before" date on the package. You can store your film at room temperature for two or three years after purchase. If you store it refrigerated or frozen, you extend its useful life for many years.
