What an awesome resource, will be bookmarking this is I ever start shooting enough 110 that I'd want to develop mine too. One thing I'd add from my darkroom experience is in regards to the micro fiber cloths-- a lot of people buy the cheap shitty ones from Amazon, which tend to shed and that becomes an absolute nightmare with scanning/digitizing. I actually use those Kimtech disposable wipes (they use them for microscopes and slides) they work wonderfully and never leave any residue or lint behind. Great vid man
Thanks man, 'preciate it. Great point on the micro fiber cloths. tbh I think I was using a cheapo that came with an Amazon lens adapter 😂 Edit: also more to your point I've had a cloth scratch a negative which trapped some dust or something and I went too heavy handed wiping.
110 Masterclass! Good tip about not winding the film all the way and pulling out the tail. The last time I tried developing 110 I had to manhandle the cartridge and crack it open like a crab leg - not great.
@@theoldcameraguy Yeah, I wish I had a failsafe way to crack open the corner containing the roll when it gets sucked in all the way. Like some pliers or other tool to just keep with me in the dark just in case, but I'd be concerned about damaging the goods inside.
@@fosterb300 that's definitely quicker and easier than ripping down film first! Although I have a hard time going through an entire 100' roll of shooting the same thing in 16mm tho
@@filmismorefun I can see that for sure with how short 110 rolls are! I was planning doing B&W, so at least even if it does expire, it won't be nearly as bad as expired C41.
@@knoptop did you get your film carriers with a variety pack of cameras or something? I can't count how many times I ended up with the "assortment special" when buying a thrift store camera bag full of whatever lol.
I recently tried the modified-for-16mm patterson reel method, and it worked great! I also have a Minolta 16 that I tested it with, but I haven't done 110 yet.
@@jasonhowell7763 They do! I saw that the guy who designed them also sells the reels on Etsy. The fact that he made them available at no charge if you have the tools is pretty awesome.
I agree with the previous comment. Another take on it, though, is that 35mm film comes in a canister. We don't call it a canister, we call it a roll. You could make the same argument for 110.
Noted. Another mark for roll. But... 126 is also a roll and a cartridge. I've never of 126 referred to as a roll. However, that was before my time shooting, so I can't say what the current verbiage for 126 was. Just another angle!
Glad you ended up liking the Yankee Master tank! A fun fact about that one is if you cut the inner tabs off the reels (near the core) you can squeeze them down to Minox width (even the rarcheting still kind of works, although i just push it into the spiral).
Yeah the Yankee Master tank works wonderfully. Thanks again for the heads up on that. I'll keep that in mind for Miniox film. I've also seen a few 3d files for Patterson tanks as well.
Great video. The only part I didn't like was the scanning/editing process: I spend 9 hours a day at the computer every day at work. Not a single minute for my hobbies 😅I never scanned a single film. I print every picture on a 4"x6" paper under the enlarger and if I particularly like someone I make a bigger print. And a contact proof of each roll 😊
Great video, Chris! Love the humorous opening portion! Yes the second roll of 110 cartridge film looked better (that’s how I reference 110 film). Yes the film gods were with you! 😉 Question: The Photographer’s Formulary fixer you use - is that the TF-4 or TF-5 version? There’s 2 kinds listed on b&h. Also I may give D76 a try! Thanks for all the great info in your video. Nice job. 👍🏻 🎉
@@anthonys_expired_film I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I use the TF5 fixer, but the TF4 can be used just as well. D76 powder and Tmax liquid developer have been two long time staples. D76 is cheap, usually always available, and has a lot of data for developing many different films.
All film is rolled apart from sheet film and that is called sheet film , as 110 is in a cartridge I would call it cartridge film, that's my 2 Bobs worth.

I've made that mistake twice, I just got into 110 myself. I'm trying to save some cassettes to reload with bulk rolls of 16mm cinefilm eventually
