A very small (sub-miniature to be exact) part of a very large collection of cameras donated by Shelagh and Jason. We will need to sort, clean, and catalogue the rest. Pictured below (left to right) is the Bolsey 8 (1956) - The world's smallest 8mm movie camera. Does both stills and film on a 25-foot roll. The Whittaker Micro 16 camera (1946). Fits into a pack of cigs -perfect for the amateur and professional detective alike. Shoots stills on a roll of 16mm film. The Mamiya 16 (1950s)- another sub-mini 16mm originally made for the Japanese Police. The Universal Minute 16 (1949). It uses a roll of 16 mm to take stills. Hidden behind at the right is the Minox 25 GT (1981). Purported to be the world's smallest full-frame 35 mm camera. Hidden behind the Bolsey 8 is a Bolsey Model B2 (1947) More on that and the others later. Cheers!
