Minolta Minoltacord
The Minoltacord is a medium-format twin-lens reflex camera produced by Minolta, shooting 6x6cm frames on 120 roll film. It sits in the company's earlier post-war TLR line, aimed at amateur and semi-professional photographers when introduced.
Auction data for the Minoltacord is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of £550 in 2013 is the only verified data point available, so a reliable current price band cannot be drawn from it. As of 2026, anyone trying to gauge what a Minoltacord is worth today should treat that figure as indicative rather than a true median, and recognise that condition, shutter health and lens clarity will swing the value sharply at auction.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher. How this figure is calculated.
