Interesting cameras #16
« on: February 28, 2011, 10:12:45 AM »
Very cool looking subminiature cameras. One from Mamiya, the Mamiya-16. Look at all of the pretty dials and switches! And the Tower 16 and Steky 16 (with accessories!). Little metal wonders...

For some reason, the Mamiya-16 still has film available at my local shop, and I see them for sale regularly, though never in use. Perhaps they're all still used by spies? Spies like us? Skj.

Very cool. I want one of those slitters that will cut down 120 to 127 and 16mm at the same time so I can play with sub minis

This is the 16mm cam I want:
