Minolta Vectis S-1

The Minolta Vectis S-1 is an autofocus single-lens reflex camera built for the Advanced Photo System (APS) film format, introduced in the mid-1990s. It used a dedicated V-mount lens system designed specifically for APS and was positioned as a compact, weather-resistant alternative to 35mm SLRs at launch.

With only a single UK auction record on file (a 2024 hammer of £15), the Vectis S-1 sits at the very bottom of the saleroom market in 2026, reflecting the wider collapse in APS-format demand. Today the camera is worth little at saleroom level, and what it sells for at auction is driven almost entirely by whether a working V-mount lens is included.
