Back in the 1970's I had Minolta 16mm cameras and bought Kindermann 16mm stainless steel developing reels to process same. I did use them to process #110 Verichrome Pan during my Canon 110ED days.;) I almost wish that #126 film was also available, but that format can be forced via Fakmatic reloadable cassettes to use #135 film.
I called a old camera shop that has been around a long time. they said they had to mail in that film. they still do 120, but I was bummed. I was hoping to find more local places that develop 110. I am getting back into film and want to buy a 110 camera. i also want to buy a 120 camera.
I love how the 110 gives everything a grainy retro 70s/80s look to photos. I got the same camera for a dollar at my favorite thrift store and it appears to work. I just need the film.
I've been bulk loading vision 200t into 110 cartridges with saved backing paper the last few months, shooting it through a Minolta 110 Zoom SLR for my full control and a kodak cameo motor 110 has become my daily care point and shoot. I'm home developing with the cinestill ecn2 kit, absolutely love it, and love the look.
I've been using an original Yankee Clipper 2 tank to develop I got off of ebay, (the new ones that have been produced are apparently trash, and it was cheaply made to begin with, so...) it has a single reel that goes down to 16mm. It is swizzle method only, so sometimes you get uneven chemical distribution on some frames, but honestly I think it adds to the aesthetic to a certain extent.
While cleaning out my mom’s house, I came upon a Minolta Pocket Autopak 460Tx 110 camera with film still in it! This is a really nice, solid, well built 110 camera… much better quality than most of the 110 cameras that I remember…. They are fun and easy to use though! Thanks
This takes me back! I grew up in the 90s, and my folks used their 110 camera until the late 90s. I've shot some 110 film as well in recent years. Need to grab more.
This format is great fun, I absolutely love shooting it. I shoot with the Pentax Auto 110 and get shockingly sharp results out of most shots. The Darkroom has a service for developing and scanning 110 film, and I've gotten good results from them. I just wish Kodak still made 110 film; this Tiger CN200 stuff is pretty sub-par cheapo color film that makes shots a lot grainier than they otherwise could be with higher-quality film. Imagine Portra 160 or Ektachrome in 110...
Hey there! Out of curiosity, what size do you order your 110 film prints on? I am getting my first roll developed right now and they offered 4x6 prints but that felt too large but can't find anything on the internet regarding what kind of size prints are best for 110 film.
Thank you for the memory lane from commercials and variety of odd cameras of the 110. My mom has many photo albums that capture our childhood in 70’s .
Have a Pentax 110 camera and I love it!!! Having grainy images doesn't worry me and the "lo-fi" look is alright. I will say, though, that if the grainy look is your thing with this format, shoot Lomo Orca mostly. The grain looks much better in B&W than in colour. It really boils down to the aesthetics of grain between B&W and colour film and B&W always wins, I think.
happy to see you make a video about 110 film! I picked up the pentax auto 110 a couple months ago and had such a great time shooting on it-it’s a really charming format. my biggest gripe with shooting 110 is the cost of getting it scanned+developed at a lab. it’s nearly twice the price for the same number of exposures of 35 film plus the image quality is lower overall, so it’s harder to justify the novelty and convenience of this format over a 35mm camera.
I have the Minolta weathermatic. It is wonderfully colorful gem in my growing Minolta collection. Feels remarkably solid and tough. Completely sealed with a monstrous gasket on the back, and the controls are really chunky and well marked so it works well with thick gloves on. I absolutely love that camera.
@@v-g-z3689 I'd love to get one for my collection, it's a very aesthetic camera, but I want an af-2 first. Need a nice point and shoot before I get more of a format I barely touch!
What an awesome video! I just impulse bought a pentaxt 110 and a few lomography rolls for my birthday Its my first foray into film since i was a kid and those cameras shaped my life and career to this day. Thansk for the great info and pictures!
I would sometimes find 110 cameras at the thrift store or even antique stores. Until I watched the video I never knew that there were people still manufacturing the film. thanks Noah!
Reloading Rapid cartridges is quite easy, you can just feed your film into the opening, in the dark of course. The cassette only picks up 60cm of film which is about 12 exposures on full frame 35mm film. You also need to check the ISO which is fixed by a tab on the cartridge. I recently shot with the Yashica Half 17 EE Rapid which gave me 24 exposures, a lot of fun!
3:44 Snap Dragon was a 1992 kids computer game about photography that included a cheap 110 camera. I didn’t know what it was since I grew up exclusively with 35 mm.
I have a few 110 cameras including the Agfamatic 2008 sensor and a Minolta Weathermatic. I modified a Paterson reel to take 110 so I can develop it myself. Fun, low-quality pics.
I just bought my second 110 film in years. The results of my first film where good,i did not scanned them in,but printed them i my darkroom. Developping the film was very easy after i ajusted my reel. I used it in a Agfamatic 2000 with a seperate flash. It even came with a Netarix,a sort of pop on windowto make more close up pictures.
I remember that a book I borrowed from the library when I was young had pinhole camera building instructions in it. It took 110 film, which I hadn't heard of at the time (I only knew my parents used 35mm).
I think many people progressing in film see medium/large format as the 'next step' in their photography, which may prove true for most people. However, once the RZ67 and Deardorff start gathering dust, the higher degree of difficulty and lower cost of using subminiature cameras & formats can be appealing to some.
I have the minolta 110 zoom SLR, love the weird look to it. I actually get some very sharp images from it compared to other 110 cameras I've used in the past.
I just digitized all my 110 negatives from my Junior High years. Great memories, but the negatives are hard to handle with the scanner without getting my finger prints on them. Plus, the 110 film don't stand against time well. All my photos need heavy post scanning adjustments. P.S. I remembered using a 120 film camera on my elementary school field trips.
I keep meaning to get some 110 film, I’ve two 110 cameras so want to give them a go. The 110 was the first camera I ever used when I was 10 years old, or the first I used when not with my parents, it was my Mum’s camera and she let me take on a school trip to Norway, then to France a couple of times a few years later, the first trip to France my Dad went mad when I got back after shooting six films, we didn’t have much money and he was paying for the developing but my Mum knew a few tricks where some companies gave you Free Processing for you first time so after using up all the companies she knew she just had them sent to different addresses, family and friends, work etc. Even though I always enjoyed taking photos it was only ever on days out, holidays etc, I just wish I’d taken it further much sooner. It was only around 8 years ago when I won a Canon G7 X ( a few months after upgrading my Compact, I always upgraded every few years), it was this camera, mainly it’s built in shooting modes, particularly its “Background Defocus”, which I soon found out to be Bokeh that won me over and I bought a DSLR a couple of years later.
Man, I started experimenting with an Agfa Iso-Rapid IF a week ago! What a coincidence! Can't wait to see your take on it. I'm planning to add a PC-Sync socket on mine so I can use a electronic flash. Also, I've reloaded some rapid cartridges. They are, of course, not made any more, so reloading is the only option. You should use 60 cm (or about 2 feet) of film. This will closely match the original film length. It will give 16 pictures, which is what these cameras take. Putting too much film in the canister will only jam the camera, and you will not be able to get more than 16 pictures anyway, as the winder starts "freewheeling" after the last picture.
I have so much 110 film in my fridge... I finally need to shoot some and test my pentax auto 110. But sadly the prices for the lab are kinda heavy for me :/
I THINK I used that kind of film cartridge in the 90s. Forgot what camera it was but was automatic like that. Im guessing it should feel as easy as a super 8mm cartridge. Load and shoot.
Referring to reloading 110 cartridges. Some cameras accept 16mm no perforation, some need perforation to activate shutter. Anyhow it is needed to keep frames spacing like original way. Dense perforations like 16mm film can only disturb. One may want to load it with perforation upside down, which would simulate no perforations. The best way is to slit 120 into 16mm films and then make right perforations before reloading. Doable. Using low grain negatives give really good outcome.
Lol, the first camera I ever owned myself was a 110. It was a cheap, plastic, no-name thing that came in a Cadbury’s show bag. I probably used it for all of three rolls (film and processing was a lot when I got a couple of bucks a week pocket money) but I still have those photos, almost 30 years later.
I picked up one of these ektralite cameras 3 months ago. I'll probably try that one out the next time I shoot 110. I did have fun using my Vivitar 110 cameras which are similar in design. First time with 110 I used the Lomo Tiger 200 film which give really vibrant colours.
I really love 110 film and cameras! Love how smol they are and 110 film iiis really easy to use. I like the Diana baby because you can take easy multiple exposures + you can change the lens, but it's not very sharp. I like the kodak mini instamatic s30 for more sharp pics :). I do have the minolta 110 slr too but I gotta test it more, it might have a problem. Oh and I got a kodak ektra 22 ef, which has a build in flash, but I haven't tested that yet.
The pics from my s30 are also less grainy I feel like. Stores near me unfortunately only develop 110 film though, and I've not tried scanning myself yet (do have a macro lens now though so could try!) so I've been sending my film to lomography in Austria. A kind person also gave me a 3dprinted 110 spool for developing, which I might use in the future but haven't done any developing myself so far.
I shot some rolls of the Lomo Tiger 110 film in my Pentax Auto 110 (have all of the lenses) at the Maryland RenFest pre-pandemic. It's fun to have *real* focus! But the size of the negatives is so small, that the results are still pretty grainy. Fun Option -- you can get an adapter to use the Auto 110 lenses on Micro Four-Thirds cameras -- they work pretty well on my Lumix G85....
Hi, Look at the video at 2:02 - 2:08. You open the back door to show where to load the film, and there are 3 little squares on the door near your thumb. I'm just curious if you or anyone else in these comments knows what they are for. I know what they are because I can remember my mom getting one of these in the 80's. I got one of those keychain 110's a while later and eventually got my moms 110 ektralite when she got a disc camera. Let me know about the squares! 🙂
B&H carries a Yankee developing tank and the reel clicks down to 110. I don’t like the tank so much but the reel also fits Patterson tanks.. I use that to develop 110 for my Pentax SLR.
4:37 what’s the stock used? I’m interested since it’s slide film. Is it ektachrome or something? And why would you want to waste slide film by cross processing it?
Lomography has offered X-Pro film in the past which is slide film that they recommend cross-processing for to achieve unexpected results. The slide film they use I believe is older discontinued stuff that even when processed as E6 tends to give less then perfect results.
It would be an interesting journey to follow a disposable cameras way to (and after) the lab, because they claim it gets reloaded and reused, but I newer came across one that had any signs of wear.
My mom had a 110 format camera and most of my childhood pictures were taken on it. As a result, they're not that special to me. That coupled with the "lo-fi" thing not really being my taste, I kind of think of 110 as the VHS of analog photography - still good for nostalgia, but little else. Those of us who are old enough to remember these technologies remember that they were kind of a pain in the @ss and we were glad to see them go. As a digital photographer delving into film, I've been continuously surprised by how functional 35mm and medium format are nowadays, so it still has its place, but 110 just seems to mostly be for fun (which is fine, of course).
I'm crushed you didn't show the Orson Welles Vivitar 110 commercial (it cracks me up every time). My favorite novelty 110 camera I own is definitely the transforming Voltron camera. 😁
Regarding recycling, the 35mm canisters are aluminum so those should be able to be recycled, I believe the reels are #2 plastic and those are recyclable as well. I don't know what number plastic the 110 cassettes are, does anyone know?
" I don't know what number plastic the 110 cassettes are" - Yes, the numbers are extremely small. Besides, the waste put out by blister packaging and cruise ships dumping plastics etc. into the oceans, far out weighs any concern for the 'tiny' footprint put out by 110 cartridge usage. - Geesh, enough already with miniscule concerns, let's look at the big picture !
@@y2ktube I appreciate the scope of the whole world vs me by myself but just like voting, each of us have a limited effect on the overall result but as a collective it does make a difference if we are all doing it together. I hope that makes sense.
I've hated 110 film from the very start, but it was the only camera I was allowed to use as a kid in the early eighties. So far I've resisted buying a 110 SLR for my collection, although I don't know how long I can hold out. the Minolta looks tempting to me. if I did I'd probably buy a bunch and freeze it as who know how this 110 train is going to run for and while many people froze 135 and 120/220 film, like Advantix I bet no one froze those films for long term storage.
@@knife-wieldingspidergod5059 years and years, decades actually. The slower the film, (lower ISO) the better. High iso film gets more "base fog" after a few decades due to cosmic radiation. People have used 30-40 year frozen film and it's looked like it's new.
I got a 110 Halina last year with film in it. Only 2 shots left on it and the camera is in rough condition. Costs 25 eur (36 cad) to get developed. Worth it to find out if there are any viewable forgotten images from a few decades ago?
Do you, or does ANYONE here have a consistant source for 110 slide frames apart from Ebay? I love shooting the Lomography Peacock and have it developed in E6, but I need slide mounts desperately!
I had a 110mm camera when I was really young, like 7 or 8 back in the early 90's. I swear that I was born retarded and somehow, my brain finally grew after I was 10 haha...I was literally too stupid to use a 35mm camera. The times I attempted, I messed up winding it after the final photo was taken and exposed it (overexposed it?), thus ruining all my terribly taken pictures haha. I honestly hadn't thought of this type of camera or owning it for 30 years until the other day, watching Technology Connection. That dude's channel rocks, I have an affinity for any UA-cam channels featuring people that are my age or +/- 2 years of me. It's so refreshing to hear recollections of things that I experienced in the same years. As opposed to hearing kids from Gen-Z describe technology I grew up with like it's the 'craziest' thing they had ever heard of, or they make it seem like they pity the fact I didn't grow up with the garbage modern technology they did haha. I remember this camera was so awesome, as was buying a flash bulb strip (4 flashes) that you popped into the top.
Don't know about the disposable cameras but at least *on the box* it says they're being reused. I have never come around one with signs of previous use, though, soni doubt that. It would be a complete waste if they just scrap them because they can easily ne refilled (in the dark).
The single thing I wonder about is Wether these disposable camera shells, aren't actually recycled, to go for a second/third/further run, as they pretty much are all a similar design, and I'm pretty sure the ones I scavenged for film, had been used before..
You completely forgot to mention the most important of the 110 cameras: The Masters of Universe camera !1!1!! It was the Greyskull Castle !!!11! Just kidding, nice video !
I have a couple of these cameras at home. In my parent's photo albums you can immediately spot the photos that were taken with them, I wonder why they look so grainy even compared to 16mm motion picture film, maybe it's because consumer film has bigger grain. Anyway one day I'll shoot, maybe the redscale one
@@Evanna11LilyLuna I was thinking about the exposure being suboptimal from point and shoots. Could also just be that emulsion is lower quality being a consumer film.
scanning and taking a picture with a digital camera directly is cool but the way to get super high resolution is to use a enlarger (projector) and photographic paper. Even the best scanner in the world isnt as good as real light moving around.
Interesting format! At least its somewhat useful compared to Kodak disc film which gave you small negatives and the would be even more annoying to develop and scan!
My favorite 110 camera is my Pentax 110 DSLR with interchangeable lenses. Lots of fun to shoot and so easy to carry around. I personally love Lomography Orca 110 film. I have a couple of Kodak 110's as well as a Minolta 110 but the Pentax gets much better results.
just scan the prints dude it's like 1$ a pic from my ""local"" lab also yes I'm a mad lad who pushed that tiger 200 to like 800 and am now in the process of pushing it to 1600 and it's g r a i n y

There also exist 110 reels for jobo developing tanks! Something I missed in this video: www.catlabs.info/product/1502
There is also several different 16mm reels on Thingiverse for those of us with 3D printers!
I have printed and used one with great success! :)

Did you end up getting some? If so how did they turn out?

I probably used it for all of three rolls (film and processing was a lot when I got a couple of bucks a week pocket money) but I still have those photos, almost 30 years later.
I picked up one of these ektralite cameras 3 months ago. I'll probably try that one out the next time I shoot 110. I did have fun using my Vivitar 110 cameras which are similar in design. First time with 110 I used the Lomo Tiger 200 film which give really vibrant colours.
I really love 110 film and cameras! Love how smol they are and 110 film iiis really easy to use.
I like the Diana baby because you can take easy multiple exposures + you can change the lens, but it's not very sharp.
I like the kodak mini instamatic s30 for more sharp pics :).
I do have the minolta 110 slr too but I gotta test it more, it might have a problem.
Oh and I got a kodak ektra 22 ef, which has a build in flash, but I haven't tested that yet.
The pics from my s30 are also less grainy I feel like.
Stores near me unfortunately only develop 110 film though, and I've not tried scanning myself yet (do have a macro lens now though so could try!) so I've been sending my film to lomography in Austria.
A kind person also gave me a 3dprinted 110 spool for developing, which I might use in the future but haven't done any developing myself so far.
Oh last tiny thing, lomography turquoise is also gonna be in 110 :p.
Ok... i was sorprise about Minox been named in the video... But cmpletly mindblown about Kodachrom 110 🤯
As a new subscriber I'd like to say, great video!
I shot some rolls of the Lomo Tiger 110 film in my Pentax Auto 110 (have all of the lenses) at the Maryland RenFest pre-pandemic. It's fun to have *real* focus! But the size of the negatives is so small, that the results are still pretty grainy. Fun Option -- you can get an adapter to use the Auto 110 lenses on Micro Four-Thirds cameras -- they work pretty well on my Lumix G85....
If you have a plustek scanner. You can 3d print a filmholder for 110
I have a few cool 110’s I actually shoot with regularly , that heavy grain is just so charming
10:00 I made a video about such a Agfa Camera a few years ago
welcome back, thanks for this fun video.
Hi, Look at the video at 2:02 - 2:08. You open the back door to show where to load the film, and there are 3 little squares on the door near your thumb. I'm just curious if you or anyone else in these comments knows what they are for. I know what they are because I can remember my mom getting one of these in the 80's. I got one of those keychain 110's a while later and eventually got my moms 110 ektralite when she got a disc camera. Let me know about the squares! 🙂
7:44 "not like 16mm and super 8" I thought 110 film was about the same size as 16mm cinema film? are they not?
The frame size of a 16mm movie is smaller then the frame size of a 110 picture, but both films have the same width! A side by side is shown at 1:35
The 110 film's framing is horizontally.
I'm pretty sure I had that same model Kodak 110 camera in the late 90's as the one you're wielding in the video lol I kinda miss that old janky thing
B&H carries a Yankee developing tank and the reel clicks down to 110. I don’t like the tank so much but the reel also fits Patterson tanks.. I use that to develop 110 for my Pentax SLR.
4:37 what’s the stock used? I’m interested since it’s slide film. Is it ektachrome or something? And why would you want to waste slide film by cross processing it?
Lomography has offered X-Pro film in the past which is slide film that they recommend cross-processing for to achieve unexpected results. The slide film they use I believe is older discontinued stuff that even when processed as E6 tends to give less then perfect results.
Welcome back! :D
I have Minolta MkII SLR- havent been able to get film processed out of it so no idea if its working. Might have to try some!
It would be an interesting journey to follow a disposable cameras way to (and after) the lab, because they claim it gets reloaded and reused, but I newer came across one that had any signs of wear.
My mom had a 110 format camera and most of my childhood pictures were taken on it. As a result, they're not that special to me. That coupled with the "lo-fi" thing not really being my taste, I kind of think of 110 as the VHS of analog photography - still good for nostalgia, but little else. Those of us who are old enough to remember these technologies remember that they were kind of a pain in the @ss and we were glad to see them go. As a digital photographer delving into film, I've been continuously surprised by how functional 35mm and medium format are nowadays, so it still has its place, but 110 just seems to mostly be for fun (which is fine, of course).
Do you think the shape of the Kodak and Vivitar 110 cameras is similar to the Monolith in 2001 a Space Odyssey?
I'm crushed you didn't show the Orson Welles Vivitar 110 commercial (it cracks me up every time). My favorite novelty 110 camera I own is definitely the transforming Voltron camera. 😁
Haha I came very close to using that actually!
Regarding recycling, the 35mm canisters are aluminum so those should be able to be recycled, I believe the reels are #2 plastic and those are recyclable as well. I don't know what number plastic the 110 cassettes are, does anyone know?
" I don't know what number plastic the 110 cassettes are" - Yes, the numbers are extremely small. Besides, the waste put out by blister packaging and cruise ships dumping plastics etc. into the oceans, far out weighs any concern for the 'tiny' footprint put out by 110 cartridge usage. - Geesh, enough already with miniscule concerns, let's look at the big picture !
@@y2ktube I appreciate the scope of the whole world vs me by myself but just like voting, each of us have a limited effect on the overall result but as a collective it does make a difference if we are all doing it together. I hope that makes sense.
I've hated 110 film from the very start, but it was the only camera I was allowed to use as a kid in the early eighties. So far I've resisted buying a 110 SLR for my collection, although I don't know how long I can hold out. the Minolta looks tempting to me. if I did I'd probably buy a bunch and freeze it as who know how this 110 train is going to run for and while many people froze 135 and 120/220 film, like Advantix I bet no one froze those films for long term storage.
how long can one froze un-used film?
@@knife-wieldingspidergod5059 years and years, decades actually. The slower the film, (lower ISO) the better. High iso film gets more "base fog" after a few decades due to cosmic radiation. People have used 30-40 year frozen film and it's looked like it's new.
@@allys537 Wow! Thanks.
I just bought the tiger film, thanks for easing my buyers anxiety.
Ah konica vx... The film I used back in the day because I was poor & had no idea how bad it was.
Funny that you upload this today, last night I dreamt I was shooting a 110 cartridge that had 60 shots in a theme park
I just got a roll of superia 1600...i guess I'll wait till your video comes out :D
I got a 110 Halina last year with film in it. Only 2 shots left on it and the camera is in rough condition. Costs 25 eur (36 cad) to get developed. Worth it to find out if there are any viewable forgotten images from a few decades ago?
The first thing I expect to hear after that intro music (originally from HTV) is 'Rooooobin. The hooded man' by Clannad ^___^'
Do any of these cameras allow interchangeable lens?
Hey man, please tell me..
Kodak Vision2 or 3 35mm motion film has audiotrack or not....or they use super35mm film format ..
Do you, or does ANYONE here have a consistant source for 110 slide frames apart from Ebay? I love shooting the Lomography Peacock and have it developed in E6, but I need slide mounts desperately!
Is it possible to fix a Kodak ektralite 10?
I celebrate your quirkiness dude....keeping the analog faithful fortified with your knowledge! Cheers!
I had a 110mm camera when I was really young, like 7 or 8 back in the early 90's. I swear that I was born retarded and somehow, my brain finally grew after I was 10 haha...I was literally too stupid to use a 35mm camera. The times I attempted, I messed up winding it after the final photo was taken and exposed it (overexposed it?), thus ruining all my terribly taken pictures haha. I honestly hadn't thought of this type of camera or owning it for 30 years until the other day, watching Technology Connection. That dude's channel rocks, I have an affinity for any UA-cam channels featuring people that are my age or +/- 2 years of me. It's so refreshing to hear recollections of things that I experienced in the same years. As opposed to hearing kids from Gen-Z describe technology I grew up with like it's the 'craziest' thing they had ever heard of, or they make it seem like they pity the fact I didn't grow up with the garbage modern technology they did haha. I remember this camera was so awesome, as was buying a flash bulb strip (4 flashes) that you popped into the top.
Don't know about the disposable cameras but at least *on the box* it says they're being reused. I have never come around one with signs of previous use, though, soni doubt that.
It would be a complete waste if they just scrap them because they can easily ne refilled (in the dark).
If you're sending your "disposable" cameras to a proper lab, then they get put back together and reused.
I actually have the small keychain camera you showed, it's so small and fragile
Brilliant!!
We should definitely #bringback126film to get the millions of Instamatic 126 cameras back in service.
I want this camera. 😐 I love the 70s ❤ what’s a good place to purchase these 😊
The single thing I wonder about is Wether these disposable camera shells, aren't actually recycled, to go for a second/third/further run, as they pretty much are all a similar design, and I'm pretty sure the ones I scavenged for film, had been used before..
You completely forgot to mention the most important of the 110 cameras: The Masters of Universe camera !1!1!! It was the Greyskull Castle !!!11! Just kidding, nice video !
Fun fact, most pro labs recycle Disposal cameras. But does anyone know who is making 110 for Lomography??
I have a couple of these cameras at home. In my parent's photo albums you can immediately spot the photos that were taken with them, I wonder why they look so grainy even compared to 16mm motion picture film, maybe it's because consumer film has bigger grain. Anyway one day I'll shoot, maybe the redscale one
A lot of the cameras also have limited exposure options, could be that.
@@Evanna11LilyLuna I was thinking about the exposure being suboptimal from point and shoots. Could also just be that emulsion is lower quality being a consumer film.
The negative is just to small. Witch means you need finer grain films and sharper lenses
Hey just a heads up for anyone shooting 110 film in Calgary Alberta, you can get it developed at london drugs
scanning and taking a picture with a digital camera directly is cool but the way to get super high resolution is to use a enlarger (projector) and photographic paper. Even the best scanner in the world isnt as good as real light moving around.
AYE thanks for the heart.
Interesting format!
At least its somewhat useful compared to Kodak disc film which gave you small negatives and the would be even more annoying to develop and scan!
The box cameras of the 70's!!!! But easier loading. (126 cameras were the box cameras of the 1960's)....
My favorite 110 camera is my Pentax 110 DSLR with interchangeable lenses. Lots of fun to shoot and so easy to carry around. I personally love Lomography Orca 110 film. I have a couple of Kodak 110's as well as a Minolta 110 but the Pentax gets much better results.
I’m not a 110 fan, The one I miss is 126
Don't know if anyone has told you this before but you look like a young George Lucas and I mean that as a compliment!
The Yankee klipper, it develops 110 easy. And it's cheap and tiny!
Don’t take the wrong way but you remind me of Stephen King in his younger days. :). Glasses beard dark hair Etc.
More like George Lucas in his American Graffiti days, or is it Coppola in his Godfather's days.
@@knife-wieldingspidergod5059 yep. Stephen and George looked very similar in those days. :)
I have a 110 camera shaped like a block of Velveeta.
fun !
Is anyone making 126 film??
Thank you for touching in the waste side of photography. We all know what plastic does to the environment, we should be more careful.
you look very cute with a beard
just scan the prints dude it's like 1$ a pic from my ""local"" lab
also yes I'm a mad lad who pushed that tiger 200 to like 800 and am now in the process of pushing it to 1600 and it's g r a i n y
I have this camera
