In 1969, when Neil Armstrong set his foot onto the moon, there was a great demand for easy-to-use cameras on Earth, that may had been set off some years earlier by Kodak's film cartridge systems. The Minolta Autopak 800 was a rangefinder camera for Kodak 126 film cartridges, the ones for the squarish exposure format. It had a built-in mechanical clockwork for automatic film advance that could be wound up for making a series of 12 exposures. Alike many other cameras for 126 film cassettes it had a connector for flash cubes on top that turned 90 degrees after each exposure to get the next of four single-usage flash bulbs into working position.
