Minolta 16 MG - Gold

Unlike the gold of the Minolta 16 I and 16II cameras the gold of the Minolta 16 MG is a mirror finish. Although the box indicates that there are two filters none of the those seen for sale listed below had gold plated filters, only standard chromes ones, if present.

As with most chrome version with serial numbers in the 300000s the light meter was not working. This was repaired using a donor camera.

This is possibly the best looking of all the Minolta subminiature camera.  The black case has a black lettering on gold Minolta logo on the flap. The chain and flash unit are finished in gold.
