Minolta X-300

The Minolta X-300 is a 35mm single-lens reflex film camera that uses the Minolta SR/MD bayonet lens mount. Introduced in the mid-1980s, it was positioned as an entry-level body in Minolta's manual-focus X-series, sitting below the more feature-rich X-500 and X-700.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the X-300 have ranged from roughly £19 to £88, with a median of about £35 across recorded sales. In today's market the camera sells for modest sums because it was produced in large numbers and the body is worth considerably less than the MD-mount lenses often sold alongside it; clean, working examples with a matching 50mm lens command the upper end of that range.
