Yashica Atoron
The Yashica Atoron is a subminiature camera using the Minox-format film cassette, aimed at the compact-camera market when it was current. It is a small metal-bodied stills camera designed for casual snapshot use rather than professional work.
Sales data for the Atoron is very thin: a single recorded UK auction hammer result of £19 (March 2023) is the only reference point currently available, so any indication of what the camera is worth today should be treated as provisional. At saleroom level this places the model firmly in the budget subminiature bracket, though condition, completeness of case and original packaging, and the presence of a working meter would all materially affect the price a clean example sells for.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Yashica Atoron worth today?
Based on the single UK auction hammer result on file (£19 in 2023), the Atoron currently sits at the low end of the subminiature market, though one data point is not enough to establish a reliable median value.
How much does a Yashica Atoron sell for at auction?
The only verified UK saleroom price in our records is £19, so a working example in average condition would be expected to fetch a broadly similar figure, with cleaner or boxed examples likely to achieve more.
Is the Yashica Atoron a good buyer's camera?
It can be an inexpensive entry into subminiature photography, but film supply and servicing are limited, so the price you pay should reflect the practical constraints of using the camera today.
