The Pentacon K 16 is a small camera for cassettes with mid-perforated 16mm film. The cassettes are not compatible with western pocket film cassettes and were made only by the East-German film maker Orwo. Except its hot shoe for an electronic flashgun the camera is similar to many so-called "pocket cameras" for type No. 110 film: reverse Galilean viewfinder, shifter in the bottom for film advance and shutter cocking, and a limited set of exposure settings. With a fixed aperture f8 for the 27mm fixfocus lens it offers four shutter speeds between 1/30 and 1/250 sec. plus B mode, selectable with a shifter in the top with help of a weather symbol scale. An unusual feature for a 16mm camera is the mechanical exposure counter visible through the top. Its a camera for "Ostalgie"-Collectors since it bears the inscription "Hergestellt in der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik" (=manufactured in the German Democratic Republic).
