Minolta 16 MG-S

The Minolta 16 MG-S is a subminiature camera using 16mm film, part of Minolta's 16 series of pocket-sized cameras introduced in the 1960s. It was positioned as a compact everyday camera offering more advanced exposure control than earlier models in the 16 line.

At UK auction in 2026, the Minolta 16 MG-S is a low-value collectable, with hammer prices ranging from about £25 to £31 and a median near £28 — wholesale saleroom levels rather than retail. Today, what a 16 MG-S sells for depends heavily on whether the original case, chain, and 16mm film cassette are present, as complete outfits tend to attract stronger interest than bare bodies.
