Minolta XG-A
The Minolta XG-A is a 35mm single-lens reflex film camera from Minolta's XG series, a line of consumer-oriented bodies introduced in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It was positioned as an entry-level SLR within Minolta's manual-focus range.
Auction data for the XG-A is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result from 2022 closed at £50, so any sense of what the camera is worth today rests on a very small sample. At that wholesale level the price reflects a clean working body with a basic lens, and condition, working electronics and a included lens will swing what an XG-A sells for in the current 2026 market.
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. How this figure is calculated.
