Minolta-16 - Vintage 1950s Subminiature “Spy” Film Camera – FREE - SOLD!

My neighbor recently found his Minolta-16 camera that was stored away, he has no use for it and knows it has limited value today. I said I would put it on UHH since it may appeal to someone who collects vintage cameras.

The Minolta-16 was an early entry into the 1950s “Spy” camera category and featured a fixed-focus 25mm lens, apertures from f/3.5 to f/11, shutter speeds from 1/50 to 1/200 plus bulb and a push-pull film advance.

The camera is spotless, has the original leather strap and appears to be performing properly. It opens easily, all functions seem to work and the shutter clicks with authority. Copies of the setup instructions also inclued. Photos show the condition and details of the actual camera.

Price: Free, just cover the $10.50 shipping cost (USA). PM me if you are interested.

I have one my father bought, he passed before I was 3. In high school I did use it for my vacation camera and I snuck it into the factory I was working and got some cool shots of work and metal sparks from grinders etc.

Would love to find a Minox one, it was even smaller, used 8 mm.

I bought one of those (a Minolta 16) complete with a leather case, when I was in the Navy. Mine had more shutter speeds, can't remember them, but I do recall bulb was included and I think 1/125, 1/60, 1/30, and maybe 1/200 plus. I had the opportunity to sell it to a collector who was putting together a display and was looking for a variety of cameras.
