Hi, Aaron, Yeah, that's what it takes. Minolta used to sell it in cassettes that looked much like 110 cassettes. They stopped doing that about 10 years ago.
So my problem won't be finding the rolled film, but a cassette (either with or without old film in it), so that I can load the cassettes myself. I've seen guys trying to sell loaded cassettes on eBay (obviously expired film) for around $25US plus shipping - and getting it. That's twice what I paid for the camera! Once I find a cassette, getting the film won't be a problem. Thanks anyway. regards, frank Aaron Reynolds wrote: > On Monday, October 22, 2001, at 04:55 PM, Frank Theriault wrote: > > > > I may have told you this already, but I just bought a Minolta 16II on > > eBay > > (it's been three weeks now, and the thing still hasn't arrived yet...). > > > > I expect to have problems finding film - I don't even know if it has a > > cassette > > in it (probably not).
