Been looking through some old gear and came across my Minolta Dynax 700si which has not been used for years. Anybody got a clue what its worth.

One sold recently on eBay for £40 with a few accessories (including the motor wind but no lenses) so that's probably a fair reflection of the body's value.

The real money (just as it is in Pentaxland) will be with the lenses; I seem to recall the 85/1.4 Rokkor being worth quite a bit on its own. Fast 50's will always find themselves good homes as will wides and ultra-wides (I had a Tokina 17mm in Minolta fit that fetched nearly £400 a couple of years ago).

The cheaper "consumer" zooms (Minolta or 3rd party) are less likely to fetch very much on their own, so if you have any of these it'd probably be less hassle to bundle them in with the body when selling.

You can view listings that have ended on ebay. Using this I found one sold for £40 but it had a vertical grip. A grip on its own sold for £25, so on that basis, about £15.

I suppose its not worth selling, and the lens is a basic Tamron 28-105.

Thanks for info, and who knows film may make a comeback.
