For          The Minolta Mini Pro;ector is a compact, light-weight projector of unique design.                            Like the tiny Minolta "16" which provides "big camera" performance in subminiature
        Color            size, the Mini Projector is engineered to give "big projector" performance.  It  casts
         Slides         unusually brilliant on-screen images with its short focal-length f:2.5  lens. Its                               projection rivals many 500 watt -".liiner  of much greater size. Carriers for the
                              Minolta "16" slides and 35 mm frames, are available for the Mini Projector. ln
                              addition, accessory automatic slide-changers and film strip carriers make the
                              Minolta Mini Projector a versatile instrument for both amateur and professional.
