    Has anyone had or used one of these. It's the sub-mini 16mm Minolta "Spy" camera. I acquired one, and still have it, while in the RAF to record damage to the electronics of an aircraft and also to record the repair. It's a simple little sturdy camera and took very good pictures for the kind of work I needed despite it's size. I don't have any film for it now and came across it while sorting through a drawer or two.:snork:

    The camera is still in mint condition so I just might have a look around for some film for it.:coffee:

    That's tiny. What size/format film does it take?
