Films for the Minolta Autopak 600-X
The Minolta Auto 600-X is designed for the 126 format (Kodapak) developed in the 1960s. This format was supposed to be more user-friendly, but could not catch on. For this reason, there is no manufacturer today that produces fresh material for the old cameras. The 126 cameras are therefore left with no more than a place in the showcase, and will probably not be photographed with in the foreseeable future.
