Minolta-16 Spy Camera
May 9, 2015 08:29:43 #
Hedge Hoggers I've had this Minolta-16 for years now, case and lens filter set. Will never use it. I'm wondering if it's worth anything? Would anyone be interested or should I just can it. Thanks for your feedback.

I have one also and was wondering the same thing ... ! Checking eBay I found them listed from $2.00 to $90.00 ... but I did not find any selling.
I guess I'll just hang on to it ... dosen't take up much space (like the PhotoSniper does) ...

I think you can sell it. I am certainly interested as it's the first camera I used at age 10.

Correct ... and if you get rid of it you are going to want/need it ... or it will then become a must have collectable ...

I bought one of them from my father-in-law many years ago. It stopped working before I got much use out of it. No warranty. :D
A few sold on ebay, but not for much. Even the famous Minox C isn't selling for much these days. Film and processing got iffy with that, and repair became impossible. I'm glad I got so much use out of it when I did.

Brought back some memories. Bought one in BX in Vietnam. It was pretty handy to keep in my flight suit pocket. Didn't take particularly good pictures, but, that might have been operator error. It finally met its demise when my very young son decided that it belonged in the toilet. Too bad. I thought it was a pretty neat gadget.

Yes, what memories. Got my when I was stationed in Sinop, Turkey in 1967. Also had a telephoto lens I could attach in place of the basic lens. Hard time getting film cartridges and getting film developed but was great to use for candid street photography which was difficult in the very primitive village where we were stationed. Pictures were never that good but I still have a few. Finally donated mine--along with all my SLR film camera stuff to the local College photo department. They were happy to have it as part of a display. Thanks for bringing back the memories--I didn't realize Minolta had sold so many of these.

My girlfriend bought me one for Christmas . I ended up marrying her. Loved it but it really was the stimulant to get me into Minox. Had several including the c with all the spy attachments : right angle mirror. Binocular clamp etc. still have the c in my camera drawer along side many others including Olympus XA. Great little camera.
