In 1974, Minox introduced a very compact (100&nbsp;mm × 61&nbsp;mm × 31&nbsp;mm), glass fibre reinforced [[Polycarbonate|Makrolon]] bodied [[35mm format|35 mm film]] camera designed by Professor Fischer of Vienna University: the Minox EL, the first one in Minox 35&nbsp;mm series. These compact cameras featured a drawbridge style lens cover which when lowered brought forward a 35&nbsp;mm focal length f/2.8 four-element, three-group Tessar-type Minotar/Minoxar lens with between the lens leaf shutter and diaphragm, a center positioned viewfinder, two stroke film winder lever and a film rewind knob. The Minox 35 camera back must be removed for loading or unloading film.

The camera offered aperture priority exposure with the option of manual settings. The Minox 35ML and Minox M.D.C offer program mode (P mode) exposure in addition to aperture priority. The 35&nbsp;mm/2.8 Minotar/Minoxar lens was very sharp, with low distortion, while the camera's metering-system's capability to produce excellent results especially under low-light conditions was outstanding – using exposure times of up to two minutes.

Some models have a 2x backlit exposure switch and a 10 sec timer switch. When the timer is engaged, a flashing LED indicates the timer counter is counting down, for the last two sec, the flash interval shortened.

Until 1995, the Minox 35 cameras were considered the smallest cameras for the standard 35&nbsp;mm film format. The design was inspired by the [[Rollei 35]], which had been the smallest 35&nbsp;mm camera for eight years. The Rollei 35 is only slightly bigger, but much heavier than the Minox 35 cameras. However, the [[Minolta TC-1]], introduced in 1996, is smaller.
