  1. smallest full frame 35mm Minolta TC-1 http://submin.com/35mm/collection/minolta/cameras/tc_1_ml.htm 16mm - not sure http://submin.com/16mm/collection/croma/index.htm Croma is small. As is the Pixie http://submin.com/16mm/collection/whittaker/cameras/pixie.htm http://submin.com/16mm/collection/scat/index.htm feels bigger than the Steky http://submin.com/16mm/collection/steky/index.htm but they all have such irregular shapes Petie is tiny for 16mm http://submin.com/16mm/collection/petie/index.htm for 8x11 (no 9.5mm film) The Minimax http://submin.com/8x11/collection/nikkoh/cameras/m_compared.htm and Minox EC / MX are larger than the Chadt http://submin.com/8x11/collection/chadt/index.htm
  2. <p>Not sure of the value of square mm to weight (oz) ratio. Working in grams would be a little better (BMI kg/sq.m is a poor measure). Taking it on negative size might be more interesting against volume of the camera. The larger the negative the larger the camera has to be but no excuse for 16mm and 110 camera so much larger than Rollie 35, Minox 35 and Minolta TC-1. Big weight difference between the largely metal Rollie 35 and the plastic Minox 35.<br /><br />1oz = 28·349375 gms<br> <br />Tessina 14x21mm</p> <ul> <li>162g (35 automatic, #63557)</li> <li>166g (35 automatic, brushed aluminum, #65401)</li> <li>166g (35 automatic, black, #363012)</li> <li>165g (? black , #363113)</li> <li>143g (? red, #464802)</li> <li>180g (35 brushed aluminum, #765598)</li> <li>154g (L gold, silent gears, #785033)</li> <li>168g (? black crinkle, #865106)#<br /><br />ratio 54 for the silent gold L.<br /></li> </ul> <p>8x11 mm negatives<br />Minox LX 160g 5.6oz, AX 71g 2.5oz, BL 80g 2.8oz<br /> ratio 15.7, 35,2, 31.4<br />Chadt M1 22g ratio of 113 <br /><br> 12x17 mm negatives<br />GaMi 288g ratio 20.1<br />Minolta MG-s 210g ratio 27.5<br />Minolta QT 150g ratio 38.6<br /><br />GaMi f1.9, 1/1000 sec, steady hand grip. <br /><br />Agreed about the 10x10 mm Minicord, but it does have the most fantastic view finder and the softest trigger release. <br />GaMi is a camera that is designed to take every possible feature of any camera and some and package it up into a 16mm format rectangular block. One of the best lens on any subminiature.<br /><br />For size/weight to negative ratio the Minolta MG-s and QT are very good. Very good lenses, wide range of lighting conditions. 1/500 sec on the MG-s and close up lenses for under 1m. Far less grain than the Minox C or BL and can be blown up larger with less problems - that is easier to get a lab to do it for me - well back when the film was off the shelf. <br /><br />In terms of results the MG-s/QT perform better than the results I have from the Tessina, although some, in the best of light conditions proved to be just as good. <br /><br />Minox 35ML is still a cut above for enlargements of subject area. <br /><br />They are all fun to handle.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br> </p>
