Minolta V2
The Minolta V2 is a 35mm rangefinder-style camera from the Japanese maker Minolta, sold as a fixed-lens model for everyday photography. It sits in the company's mid-century compact line-up rather than its later SLR ranges.
At UK auction today the Minolta V2 is a low-value collectable: hammer prices in the recorded sales sit between roughly £19 and £56, with a midpoint near £38. These are wholesale saleroom results, so what a clean working example sells for at a dealer or on the private market will typically be higher, and condition swings the price noticeably at this level.
