While I was getting ready to go out, I figured I would do a little tutorial about how to load a new roll of 35mm film into a Pentax Espio 70s camera.

This is Kodak's brand new film and I am very excited to try it. I've seen the results online and really like the look of the final product.

Once I get these shots developed, I'll post them on here so you can all see the results.

How's it going fellow humans! I've got the tiniest little camera you ever did see waiting to find a new home.

I'm talking about the Minolta-16 Chiyoda Kogaku Subminiature Camera in the much more elusive black colouring!

Here's everything included:

- Minolta-16 Chiyoda Kogaku Camera
- Minolta Leather Camera Case
- Minolta Leather Strap
- Minolta-16 Manual & Packaging

Just look at how "big" that mini-figure is compared to the camera. It almost looks like it was built for them.

The camera body is in fantastic shape. No visible signs of wear. All camera features appear to be working without issue. The camera also has options to change your aperture and shutter speed which is super rare for a subminiature camera.

The lens, a Minolta Rokkor 35mm 1:2.8, is nice and clean as well. Minor dust present but overall in fine shape.

PRICE - $95.00 CAD
