Minolta 16 QT
The Minolta 16 QT is a subminiature camera that uses 16mm cartridge film, part of Minolta's 16-series of pocketable cameras. It was positioned as a compact everyday-carry option for casual photographers seeking a camera smaller than 35mm formats.
In today's UK auction market, the 16 QT trades at very modest hammer levels — the only recorded sale fetched £12, indicating that an example sells for around the £10–£15 mark at saleroom level (wholesale, before commission). With so few data points, the price a 16 QT is worth depends heavily on cosmetic condition, presence of the original case, and whether the shutter still fires.
