Minolta 35 Model E
The Minolta 35 Model E is a 35mm rangefinder camera from the post-war era of the Japanese camera industry, part of the Minolta 35 series that helped establish the maker's reputation outside Japan.
UK auction hammer prices for the Minolta 35 Model E are thinly traded, with recorded sales ranging from £88 to £180 at saleroom level (wholesale, excluding commission). With only two data points spanning decades, the current value today is difficult to pin down precisely, and what a clean example sells for depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter function, and whether the original lens is present.
