Minolta 16 (I) kit
Here's everything you need to get started in subminiature photograpy. To begin, there is the Minolta 16 (I) camera. It has a 25mm (f3.5-11) lens. Shutter speeds of 1/25 - 1/100. Shutter and aperture dials on the side of the camera. The point of focus for the three element lens was fixed at 15 feet. At f5.6, everything from 7.5 feet to infinity is in focus. Built-in PC contact. The camera is very flexible and will give you great results. The camera is in perfect operational condition, and like new cosmetic shape. The viewfinder is perfectly clear. The f-stop and shutter speeds settings work perfectly. But this is not just the camera. It is a complete kit. Also included is the original Minolta camera strap, camera case and the original owner's manual. Also included is the Minolta flash bracket -- in the original box -- very unusual. It allows the use of any flash unit on the camera. And this kit comes with the original Minolta Baby flash unit for use with #5 flash bulbs. This unit is in mint condition and works fine. This is not the common Baby BC unit, but the older original Baby flash. It has the appealing collapsible fan. All it needs is a new 22.5 volt battery -- still available at www.photobattery.com. One #5 bulb is included for display. Also included is the original Baby owner's manual -- very hard to get -- and the flash case. Want more? How about a copy (a COPY) of the Joe Cooper's book, The Minolta 16 Camera Guide? It tells you everything you need to know about this camera and how to use subminis. To use the camera, you also need a film cassette, and this kit includes one -- along with 10 feet of fresh Ilford FP4 (ISO 100) B&W film. That's enough film for 6 or 7 reloads. Last, but not least is a complete set of Minolta 16 (I) filters -- UV, 81A, Y48 (yellow), 80A. These are NOT the common filters that fit on the Minolta 16 II. These are smaller. The 16 II filters will not fit. These come with the original plastic dispenser, box and instruction sheet -- very unusual. It's all yours for $95. Shipping included.
