Tokyo Kogaku Minion 35 (C)
The Minion 35 (C) is a 35mm film camera produced by Tokyo Kogaku, the optical maker better known for its later Topcon-branded equipment. It sits among the company's mid-20th-century compact 35mm offerings.
Public auction data for the Minion 35 (C) is extremely thin: the only recorded UK saleroom hammer result is £287 from November 2003, which gives a single data point rather than a usable range for today's market. With no recent transactions, current values in 2026 cannot be reliably stated, and condition, completeness and originality would heavily influence what any clean example sells for at auction.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Tokyo Kogaku Minion 35 (C) worth today?
There is too little recent sales data to give a reliable current value; the only logged UK auction hammer price is £287 from 2003, so today's worth would depend on condition and on what comparable examples appear at sale.
How much does a Minion 35 (C) sell for at auction?
On the single recorded UK auction result, one example fetched £287 at hammer, but with just one data point this should be treated as indicative rather than a reliable market price.
Is the Minion 35 (C) a rare camera?
It appears very infrequently in tracked UK auction results, which suggests low supply at saleroom level, though rarity alone does not guarantee a high price without active buyer interest.
