16mm Minolta


Having just got online, now I have a question that has been bugging me. About 30 years ago, I had a Minolta that used 16mm b/w film. It fit in a small pocket or an empty cigarette pack. It was great for taking pictures of people with their guard down(such as in Turkey). Do you perhaps know what the model was and if they still make b/w and color film for it? thx for any help.

  My wife happens to own one of these cool subminiature cameras. The model was simply called the Minolta 16. We did some research and found that some companies still make film for it. For instruction manuals, check out craigcamera.com and for film, visit submini.com, a company which makes the film format you need out of major film 35mm types.
