After the success of the Konan cameras for 16mm film the Minolta-16 for Chiyoda's 16mm film cartridges had been introduced in 1956 or 1957. It took 10×14mm sized exposures through a Rokkor 1:3.5/25mm lens . It had a push/pull cocking mechanism for film advance and winding up the shutter, a flash-synchronized 3-speed slider shutter, and even choice between four apertures. It was very small but weighed 165 g. Ancillary lenses were mountable as well as filters.
In 1960 the Minolta-16 II followed, with faster 1:2.8/22mm lens and more shutter speeds, with B-setting. A distance lens was added to the available accessories. It allowed sharp infinity exposures at any aperture.
