History
From 1936 to 1974 the history of the Minox brand is essentially that of the Minox subminiature camera. From 1974 the Minox name also became associated with other photographic products, most notably the Minox 35mm compact cameras produced from 1974 until 2004.
Minox was acquired by Leica in 1996, but a management buyout in August 2001 left Minox an independent company again.

“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Spain is an overflow of sombreness ... a strong and threatening tide of history meets you at the frontier.”
