110 film without the pre-exposed frames

I wish to use 110 film in my minolta-16 and kiev-30 cameras.

Unfortunately the 110 films all seem to have pre-exposed

frames and the register of the minoltas is not predictable

enough to let me use this film. The pictures almost invariably

are ruined by a big black line down the area exposed.

Does anyone know of a brand that doesn't have this 'feature'?

Years ago I used to bulk load Minolta 16 cartridges with Kodak 16mm single edge perf b&w movie film. I used Eastmak 4X. Something like it should still be available.

I just got a film splitter and slit 35mm film.

Also you can get single and double perferated 16mm movie film depending on your camera..... but with slitting there are no perferations. I got a 100 foot roll of 16mm single perf for 20 bucks on ebay that was Plus-x it is lasting a real long time... about 20 inches per cassett

Thanks for the answers. Seems 110 always has pre-exposed frames.

I have 100' of BlueFire but it's a dog to work with.

I made a splitter 50 y ago when I got my first minolta-16

for splitting 120 film.

Anyone remember just how wide 120 is? Should be more than 60mm.

I forget now but it is, I think, 62mm. I could get 4 x 15.5mm

slices from that. Near enough then. Near enough now.

I am left with a bunch of 110 - I better invest in a cheap

camera to use it up. :-)

I use a splitter I got from Al Doyle. He is hated in alot of places but he keeps minatuare alive.... All I can say it is 6mm wide or 2 and 1/4 inches Bluefire is a good film I use mostly though traditional films.

 

Imagemaker and Glenn at nelsonfoto.com could help you more.

4-X has been dead since the early '90s, but you can still get XX and Plux-X negative films and Tri-X and Plus-X films in 16mm (former are neg, latter are reversal). You could do some crazy stuff with microfilm too. Ilford still makes a film that is estar base with cibachrome emulsion coated on it, same process as the paper, same painfully slow speed, something like ASA of 6T. You could also play around with the fine line of ECN-2 color motion picture products. If you want fine grain you should be able to do some nice things with the new Vision2 50D, or there are high speed tungsten Vision2 films going up to 500T if you don't mind grain.
