INTRODUCTIONThe Minolta 16 II is a subminiature camera that uses 16mm film, made in Japan by Minolta in 1960. BEST SUITED FOR:
PERSONAL NOTESThe Ninolta 16 II can be considered as a poor man's Minox. It's like a Minox, but less compact, cheaper, and of lesser quality. The Built quality of the Minolta 16 II is great, but the Minox is in another class. The 16 II is more compact than the 16 P, it has the same winding type as the minox, so it uses less space. Also, the 16 II has only manual exposure, but has more apertures and shutter speeds to choose from. It's very easy to use the Sunny 16 rule with this camera. 16mm film is obsolete, so the results are not that great, because the only available film right now is very old stock. CONCLUSIONLike 110 film, I cannot recommend any camera that uses 16mm film. VERDICT:
