Released 1996 as Minolta's premium compact response to the Contax T2 (1990) and Ricoh GR1 (1996). Production ran 9 years until 2005 when Konica-Minolta exited the camera business. The G-Rokkor 28/3.5 lens was also released as a separate Leica M-mount lens in limited production for collectors.
For premium-compact enthusiasts, the TC-1 is the cult Minolta — small, titanium, with a 28mm wide-angle G-Rokkor that produces excellent image quality. Wider focal length than Contax T2 (38mm) or Yashica T4 (35mm), and unique among premium compacts in offering a dedicated aperture dial (most premium compacts hide aperture in menus).
For 2026 buyers, used TC-1 at $1,200–2,200 is comparable in price to a Contax T2. The optical performance is excellent; the dedicated aperture control is photographer-friendly.
Lens fixed. Original Minolta-branded leather case is collectible.
