The Minolta 16 (chrome) is a subminiature still camera that uses 16mm film, part of Minolta's pocketable 16-series introduced from the mid-1950s onward. The chrome-finish body was sold as a compact everyday camera positioned below Minolta's 35mm rangefinder line.

Hammer prices at recent UK auction have been modest, with the two recorded results sitting between £25 and £31 and a median around £28. Because the 16 (chrome) trades at saleroom level for low double figures in 2026, condition, completeness of the case and any original film cassette make a meaningful difference to what one sells for on the day.
