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.
