Minolta Sonocon 16
The Minolta Sonocon 16 is a subminiature camera using 16mm film, produced by the Japanese maker Minolta.
With only a single UK auction record on file — a 2003 hammer result of £833 — there is not enough recent data to establish a reliable current value or median price. Anyone trying to work out what a Sonocon 16 is worth today should treat that figure as a historical saleroom data point rather than a guide to what the camera sells for in 2026.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Minolta Sonocon 16 worth at UK auction?
The only verified UK auction hammer price on record is £833 from 2003; with no recent comparable sales, a current market value cannot be reliably stated.
How much does a Minolta Sonocon 16 sell for today?
There is insufficient recent UK auction data to give a reliable current price, and the single archived hammer result is too old to project a 2026 value from.
Why is pricing data on the Sonocon 16 so limited?
It is a low-production 16mm subminiature model that rarely appears at UK auction, so verified hammer results are scarce.
