Thanks again Mike I just received one of these It seems like such a nice camera it all came in the original box with all the accessories..I'm super excited that it uses the Minox Film as I was just about to order some from Blue Moon for my Minox iii and B cameras and now i can just get another roll for the Atoron I have the Minox dalight developing tank so I'll have fun developing film for all three cameras (my first time) Love your videos Mike! they're very helpful...Billy

Some people slit their own film. The plastic cassettes are to find. You might find some that have been 3D printed. ua-cam.com/video/TEHAoSKxs04/v-deo.html
Hey i got one recently, which kind of film cartridge it uses, like what’s the actual name so I could search for it on google or ebay! Lovely vid mate! Keep going❤️
I would check eBay, but only completed sales. The value of all film cameras has dropped because of digital. You can still get film. You can download the manual. The light meter may not be accurate. These cameras can take good photos. I have a number of them, but some don't work. I'm doing new videos on subminature cameras. I be done the Minolta 16 II. I'm doing the Minox B. The atorons are packed away so it will be some time before I can get to them.
The best bet is to look on eBay. You don’t want to look at what people are try to sell them for but what people actually paid for them. Here are some things that would make your camera more valuable. If you have a good condition box that it came in with a good instruction manual the camera will appeal to collector. Any accessories you have with it can make it slightly more valuable. The problem just selling this to anyone is film has to be special ordered for it. Not many places will develop print it. The plastic film cassettes that are not damaged are getting hard to find. It would probably cost you $20 to run film through it to see if it still working well. Reply to this with the condition of the camera, how it has been stored, and any boxes, manuals, or accessories you have to sell with it. Tell me what country you live in. Send this information and I will try to get some reasonable estimate on it and where you might try to sell it.
It makes a good amount of noise when you wind it. If you don’t have the instructions, I think you can find a sight to download a copy of the manual. I would not expect the light meter to be very accurate after all these years. Guesstimating the exposures from a chart will work fine with today’s wide latitude films, especially color negatives.
I inherited one from my grandfather. He bought it at Heathrow Airport when he was enroute to Libya to work in the oil fields there. I think that was around 66' or 67'. Photography was supposedly prohibited but he was determined to sneak some pics when he was there. So the story goes.

I'll be looking forward to your follow-up post on your results
Hi Mike... good video... i came across your video when i found an original pamphlet Japan printed copy of this model... the flash module is EPIC !
They are a really small camera. The shutter and the film advance makes an unusual sound.
Where you can find films this

Wow. Never heard of Atoron, have Minox "C". People should be aware of snapshot typical quality available from tiny 8mm image.
Yes

They take a Minox cassette. These are plastic and a little hard to find, but now you can buy new ones produced on someone's 3D printer.
Just picked one of these up any idea what it’s worth?

What kind of film it uses?
Minox film. It comes in a cassette. It is 9 millimeters wide.
I HAVE ONE OF THOSE. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE COULD SELL IT FOR???

Mike Kennedy okay, thank you so much! I thought mine was broken. :) Have a nice day...
