Thanks for the information Moose, I am guessing we threw all the
cassettes out when we had to do a ruthless sort out of his things, his
Leica (which looked to be army issue) went at that time but it had been
damp and looked beyond repair. The little Mamyia though is nice to
fiddle with and has survived well.

Standard 16 mm movie film will work, but you need the special
casettes. I had a choice and went with the model with built-in light
meter. Strictly a conversation piece now. The Minox C sitting around
here may also be, as film was, at least recently, not available.
Unlike the Mamiya, the film is a special width.

Amongst my genetic fathers estate, I found this, and I carry it around
as a momento its quite light and has bits to fiddle with with, I doubt
though I would ever put a film through it even if I could find some or
someplace to develop it, he worked for MI6 but any more information
than that he took with him to his grave. To remember my step father I
had his longines watch factory refurbished one advantage of living in
switzerland :-) a foolish idea financially but it seemed the right
thing to do.
anyway I present you with a baby mamiya

I am still struggling to catch up and still have 2000 messages left to
go but decided to skip a block and start from emails a week old just
to see what was current. I couldn't resist. I also foolishly lost 3
weeks worth of photos (Black swan event) despite normally having at
least three backup copies - I lost my youngest's birthday party but I
have one print from the selphy and a beer with our neighbours
otherwise luckily nothing of note. Luckily though not the images I
took for my wifes new practice which were still on the CF card
Cheers IanW
