12 The smallest one I own
Found this miniature camera in my Mum's loft. The smallest camera I've ever seen. (That's a tuppence coin for size comparison.) Taken with my 60mm macro lens.
The body is made of Bakelite. On the left you can just see the shutter release and the wind on mechanism. And even such a tiny camera had a reasonable viewfinder! Can't test it as I wouldn't know where to get 16mm film.
Apparently they were given away with a breakfast cereal in the 1930s and did take real photos with 16mm film More info from the Science Museum collection.sciencemuseumgroup.org.uk/objects/co8082111/co...
