The Mamiya 16 Automatic is a 16mm subminiature camera produced by Mamiya, designed for compact spy-style use with film loaded in dedicated 16mm cassettes. It sat in the small subminiature category that competed with cameras like the Minolta 16 and Minox during the mid-twentieth century.

Auction data for the 16 Automatic is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer result of £38 in 2021 is the only verified reference point we have, and that figure reflects wholesale auction level rather than retail. Because subminiature cameras are a niche collector category, today's prices for clean working examples can vary widely with cosmetics, completeness of the cassette, and inclusion of the original case, so a single sale is not a firm guide to what the model is worth in 2026.
