So exciting!! Definitely interested in buying some pre-perfed film for reloading old cartridges! Would love to have fresh film for my large 126 camera collection!!
thanks guys 👍
Mike, I got the Fakmatic loaded with test film and into the Hawkeye. Definitely got the “hand sweats” in trying to keep the roll tight and tape on while loading. 😂 just keeping you updated. Great podcast you guys!
Frankly I'm super excited you guys are looking into this 126 stuff. While the nicer Kodak cameras i have seem to work with 35mm OK (namely the Instamatic Reflex and 500), I've been dying to try out the clockwork advance Minolta Autopak 800 rangefinder I have, which sadly doesn't. So here's one 126 fan that's IN 😂
Looking slim Mike… is this the new studio? Love the podcast
This is so cool. I've just been using expired 126. Thanks for always keeping film fun.
I'm working on a 126 perfing jig so I can use my Kodak Instamatic 500. I'll let you know if I get it working.
Wait! Did you say Disc Film? I just bought a Minolta Disc camera!! it totally works too. Im ready to start buying disc film guys! Let's get to work.
Kind of disappointed that I didnt hear a explosion and scream when the flash cube went off....
Well, here's a vote for resurrecting APS film -- forget the 'digital' info options -- just the raw film in APS cartridges. I have all of the APS SLR models (Nikon, Canon, Minolta) and some of the fancier auto-focus 'all-in-one' cameras -- and I have collected a *LOT* of expired APS film. Other than the film being expired -- it is a fun format to use, and the cameras are great 2000-era products. Heck -- the Canon APS SLRs are compatible with all Canon EF lenses, the Nikon APS SLRs can use Nikon AF F-mount lenses -- the Minolta cameras have their own mount but have an adapter to use the Minolta/Sony A-mount lenses. The features in these cameras are right in that spot of the last fancy 35mm AF cameras and the first generation of digital SLR cameras. I have had a ball using them and everything seems to work great -- except of course the film is expired. Some labs still have the equipment to develop the film (The Darkroom handles mine). I'd just love to have a source of 'fresh' film loaded into the carts -- but yeah, it is a 'non-standard' width (24mm) with two perfs per frame. I just hate to have very functional cameras with (eventually) nothing to shoot in them....
My favorite thing about APS cameras is just how weird they all look 😄 Like it was required that designers go off the deep end if it's APS
@@Exxcalibur186 -- Yup, the SLRs and point & shoots definitely look different than the 35mm and others at the time -- probably to generate more interest in the new format. I was surprised to come across some Fuji APS disposables -- and even those definitely look different than 35mm/110/126....
👍👍👍
Man I would love 100ft rolls of 127 black and white film. I would roll my own using old paper and spools.
You can get that from the Ilford ULF program!

Would love to shoot some brand new manufactured 126… any info on pack film ? Does ferainia have any of those machines

Question: You said to not buy expired Kodacolor II film. Is it just the age of the film? Because AFAIK it's C-41 process. That's all I'm seeing on eBay right now.
Chemistry to develop Kodachrome film as color no longer exists + the film is very old and will yield poor results.
Same with Kodacolor II?
Is the audio weird or is it me? I'm getting left channel only. It's disorienting.
The dialog is only on one track. I did not notice until the show was posted "live" - Mike
