After the success of the Konan cameras for 16mm film the Minolta-16 for Chiyoda's 16mm film cartrigdes had been introduced in 1956. It took 10×14mm sized exposures through a Rokkor 1:2.8/22mm lens (another version had a 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 apertures. An ultraviolet filter protected the little lens. It was very small (79×24&time;42mm) but weighed 150 g. Ancillary lenses were mountable.
