Subject: [Leica] 35 mm format is best?

I bet there is some internet gallery somewhere that has great photography
taken in the Minox format. Anybody know one?
Me I've never seen nor heard of anything resembling a great iconic
photograph taken with the sub miniature formats like Minox. I had a Mamiya I
got from my dad which was a Minox copy. Could not get it going and that was
the 70's.
Even the spies and secret agents this format would seem to be designed for
went in with a tessina or normal 35mm film format to get the documents
copied. 
In the film "Topaz" I just saw down the street (a few blocks from where some
of it took place in Harlem) they used Tessinas and a half frame Olympus f
system to spy on the Castro Cubans. It was Alfred Hitchcock.
