Minolta Repo S
The Minolta Repo S is a half-frame 35mm viewfinder camera, allowing two exposures per standard 35mm frame. It was produced by Minolta during the 1960s, when half-frame compacts were a popular lower-cost alternative to full-frame 35mm cameras.
Sales data for the Repo S is very limited, with one UK auction hammer result from March 2025 selling for £56. Because this is a single wholesale saleroom price rather than a retail figure, the wider value range today is not well established and individual results will vary with cosmetic and mechanical condition.
