This camera was produced from 1966 to 1971. The camera takes 16mm film and was Minolta's way of competing with Kodak's 110 format. I bought this camera at a thrift store with the flash for $20. When I bought it, there was film in it. I had it developed, but there was nothing on it, sadly. I think I may re-spool the cartridge at some point and shoot with it.
