COLLECTIBLE VINTAGE MINOLTA-16 MG SUB-MINIATURE FILM CAMERA WITH CASE & CHAIN.

On offer is a Collectible Vintage Minolta-16 MG Sub-Miniature Film Camera with Case and Chain.

Serial No: 136839.

Some very minor cosmetic wear but overall in excellent condition.

The 16-MG is a Sub-miniature viewfinder camera manufactured by Minolta in Japan and launched in 1966.  It has an aluminium body with film advance via a large wheel on top of the camera.  Not only is the MG small but it is truly stylish and feels almost natural in the hand.

It is fitted with a 4 elements 20mm 2.8 Rokkor lens with a sliding door and an additional portrait element can be shifted into the position in front of the lens. It has apertures of f2.8-f16 and shutter speeds of 1/30-1/250sec.

A match-needle selenium exposure meter system adjusts the shutter speed and aperture in combination at the same time.   Just dial in the film speed (ISO 25 - 400) and then turn the "exposure" dial until the needles match in the exposure window on the top of the camera.

The lens is protected by a built-in cover which slides across when not in use and locks the shutter. There is also a position which pulls a close-up lens in place which allows focusing down to about 1.2m (4 feet) and is also used for portraits.  A red mark appears in the viewfinder when the built-in lens cover is in place to avoid out-of-focus pictures. 

There is a flash switch on the back of the camera that sets the shutter at 1/30sec.  The camera can be used manually, but you can't tell exactly what shutter speed is set.

On the back of the camera, behind the lens is a small disc which can be unscrewed and the shutter observed opening and closing to test operations without the need to process a film.

All controls work as they should, t he viewfinder and lens are in excellent condition, clear and free from haze and fungus and the body is in very good condition  both inside and out. 

Uses Minolta 16mm film (not included) giving a frame size of 10×14mm. The film  cassette is not included.

Comes complete with the original Minolta carry case and metal wrist chain.

An excellent example of this sub-miniature camera to add to your collection.
