The '''Minolta-16 MG-S''' was the flagship of Minolta's subminiature camera series. It used a bigger frame size than the earlier Minolta subminis. A further advantage was the choice between manual CdS-meter supported match-needle aperture setting and fully automatic aperture control. A flash cube adapter served as flash device in the camera's standard outfit. Other flashes were available.
