A marvel of mid-century Japanese precision engineering, this Minolta 16 II is an iconic all-metal subminiature camera crafted by Chiyoda Kogaku. Designed for pocket carry with a signature push-pull winding mechanism, this model features a prime Rokkor 22mm f/2.8 lens and bears the distinctive diamond EP export stamp on its rear casing alongside serial number 405843.
The camera remains in solid vintage cosmetic condition with honest, light surface wear consistent with age, clear viewfinder optics, and cleanly adjusting aperture and shutter dials. The mechanical shutter fires reliably and the push-pull sliding action works smoothly; please note that it is completely battery-free and is offered as the standalone camera body, untested with actual 16mm film cartridges.
