Minolta X-570
The Minolta X-570 is a 35mm manual-focus SLR introduced in the early 1980s, using Minolta's SR bayonet mount. It sat below the top-tier X-700 in the same manual-focus line, offering aperture-priority and metered manual exposure aimed at enthusiasts who wanted the core X-series feature set without the programmed auto mode.
UK auction hammer results for the X-570 are modest: the two recorded sales range from £25 to £75, reflecting wholesale saleroom levels rather than retail asking prices. As of 2026, what an X-570 is worth today depends heavily on whether the body works correctly and whether a lens is included, with cosmetically tidy, fully functional examples sitting at the upper end of that band and untested bodies sells for less.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Minolta X-570 worth in the UK today?
Recent UK auction hammer prices sit between roughly £25 and £75, so most bodies are worth under £100 at saleroom level depending on condition and whether a lens is included.
How much does a Minolta X-570 sell for at auction?
The two recorded UK auction sales are £25 and £75, giving a rough working value near the middle of that range for a typical body.
Is the Minolta X-570 the same as the X-700?
No. The X-570 is a separate model in the same X-series manual-focus line and omits the programmed auto mode offered by the X-700, which is why its price is generally lower.
