Minolta 16 Film

[Marvin]

I have two rolls of Minolta 16 print film, and one slide film. These show develop before 1973-1974, and I thought I would try to process them in my darkroom. My question is are the print films C41, and the slide film E6. I know there were C22 and E4 process, but I don't know when they switched over. The packaging does not have info on processing. The slide film says Ektachrome ASA50. Any info on processing these old films would be appreciated.

Avoid damaging the cassettes.
Process as mono negative.

Yes the cassettes are quite valuable as they can be reloaded with 16 mm film. It is a pity that Kodak chose to enter the 16mm market with their totally dreadful 110 cameras and cassettes. This drove the Minotas and Atorons out of the market.

The 110 cassettes are also collectors and can be reused.

Yes I know to save the cassettes. I have a 16Ps and 16QT that I may play with someday. What films can you get to reload.

My local shop does

But they need reversal processing.

Does anyone know if the Subclub and Goat Hill Photo are still active. The site seems dated and Goat Hill says cash or check only, no online ordering, and many of the films listed are not made anymore.

Would this work processed as a negative.

No it uses a anti halation layer that needs a bleach as in reversal processing.
But there are other cine films not in my local shop.

Most any 16mm film will work, movie or microfilm.
