Konishiroku 35mm Big Mini
The Konica 35mm Big Mini is a compact 35mm film camera with an autofocus fixed lens, produced as part of Konica's Big Mini line of point-and-shoot cameras aimed at casual shooters who wanted pocketable quality above disposable-level results.
At UK auction, hammer prices for the Big Mini have been modest, with recorded sales between £25 and £50 — a median around £38 at saleroom level (wholesale, before buyer's premium). As of 2026 the model sells for small sums in the auction market, and value today is highly condition-sensitive: a working example with a clean lens and functioning LCD is worth more than a cosmetically tidy but faulty body.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Konica 35mm Big Mini sell for?
Recent UK auction hammer results sit between £25 and £50, so a working example is typically worth a low two-figure sum.
What is a Konica 35mm Big Mini worth today?
Based on the limited sales data, the price at auction is around £25–£50 depending on cosmetic condition and whether the electronics and autofocus are fully functional.
Is the Konica 35mm Big Mini worth buying as a user camera?
It can be a reasonable compact 35mm shooter at this price level, but confirm the LCD, autofocus and shutter all work, since repairs are rarely economic relative to the camera's value.
