Minolta Dynax 500si super

The Minolta Dynax 500si super is a 35mm autofocus SLR from Minolta's Dynax line, sold in Europe during the mid-1990s as an entry-level body using the Minolta A-type (autofocus) lens mount. It was positioned as an affordable consumer SLR rather than an enthusiast tool, sitting below the contemporaneous 600si and 700si in Minolta's range.

At UK auction in 2026, hammer prices for the Dynax 500si super sit at the low end of the 35mm AF SLR market, with recorded sales of £15 and £25 — a working range of roughly £15–£25 and a median near £20. Because these are saleroom hammer results (wholesale, before commission), body-only examples without a lens rarely sell for much more today, and value is highly condition-sensitive: a clean, tested body with a kit zoom will sit at the upper end of that range, while untested or cosmetically tired bodies make up the floor.
