Minolta 16 Film

INTRODUCTION

The Minolta 16 P is a subminiature camera that uses 16mm film, made in Japan by Minolta in 1960.


BEST SUITED FOR:


Good for nothing!

PERSONAL NOTES

The Minolta 16 P is very compact, but not as compact as the Minox. It has a pseudo aperture priority mode. You select the aperture, or the type of light condition on a pictogram, then point and shoot. The shutter speed is always the same. The camera kind of work the same way as if you were using the Sunny 16 rule. So there is a setting on the camera to adjust for film sensitivity (ISO).

16mm film is obsolete, so the results are not that great, because the only available film right now is very old stock.


CONCLUSION

Like 110 film, I cannot recommend any camera that uses 16mm film.
