What it is
{"overview":"The Steky III is a subminiature camera made by Riken Optical, designed for 16mm film. Condition, completeness of accessories, and working shutter all materially affect what a clean example sells for at saleroom level, and buyers should expect wide variance until more recent results emerge.","buying_guide":"Inspect the shutter for sticky or sluggish speeds, check the viewfinder optics for fungus or haze, and confirm the film advance and frame counter operate smoothly.

Questions
What film does the Steky III use?
The Steky III is a 16mm subminiature camera, so it requires 16mm film loaded into its dedicated cassettes rather than standard 35mm cartridges.
