Minolta, model MINOLTA-16 MODEL-P, in very good physical condition and not tested.
Description from the seller
Shipping costs apply only to the mainland. I ship preferably to EU member states, to avoid applying additional costs and customs fees, for islands, non-continental territories and outside the EU.
Produced starting from 1960, it is known for its compact size and ease of use, often advertised as a "spy camera".
Main Features
Uses 16 mm film in dedicated Minolta cartridges, producing 10x14 mm negatives.
Is equipped with a Rokkor 25mm f/3.5 lens, with fixed focus (at about 4.5 meters, or 15 feet).
The camera has a simple manual exposure setting system based on weather symbols (bright sun, sunny, cloudy, etc.) that the user matches to the film's ASA (ISO) speed (from 10 to 160 ASA).
Features a guillotine shutter with a single fixed speed of about 1/100 second when not used with flash.
The body is rigid (not collapsible like some earlier models) and sturdy, typically chrome metal. Includes a PC sync socket for external flashes and a tripod mount.
It has been a popular model for its simplicity and portability, although 16mm film is now difficult to find and often requires manual reloading of old cartridges.
Great for collectors/display.
Good cosmetic condition, sold as-is. Not tested.
