Description from the seller

Up for auction: a splendid, complete and fascinating vintage set dedicated to the legendary "spy" photography: the Minolta-16 MG subminiature camera, produced in Japan by Minolta starting in 1966. This tiny jewel of micromechanics uses special 16 mm film cartridges to deliver discreet shots in an ultra-compact format.

The lot is presented in excellent overall condition and is complete with a black leather protective case, Minolta MG Flash dedicated flash unit, rare integrated sliding additional filters, original instruction booklet, accessory cases, an era roll, deluxe hard presentation case and original cardboard outer carton.

Optics: The unit mounts the original high-definition fixed Minolta Rokkor 20mm f/2.8 lens, protected by a sliding shutter that also serves as the shutter lock.

Mechanics: The lot has been tested and is functioning. The upper perimeter advancement/ cocking dial operates normally and the shutter release button responds promptly.

Aesthetics: Excellent overall condition, as clearly documented by the photographs. The satin-anodized aluminum body retains exceptional original luster, free from dents, impacts or deep scratches. The coordinated black leather case and the metal wrist strap are well preserved.

Tracked international shipping, fully insured and professionally ultra-protective packing to ensure maximum safety during transit.
