110 film


Recommended Posts

In case anyone is interested, there is an EBay seller from England who is

liquidating Konica 110 film. He is selling it in lots ranging from ten to a

hundred. I just bought fifty rolls last night to put in the freezer. The url

for his store is http://stores.ebay.com/Intercamuk. I have no affiliation

with the seller, but I bought the fifty rolls for approx. $60.00. It may be

worth looking into.

Gotta admit...that is a good price. I bought a bunch of Kodak that my local camera store had marked down...3-packs for $2.50...and stocked the freezer. Other than that, I've been using the Walgreen's brand, 2 rolls for $5. But 50 rolls for $60...can't beat that.

Hi Friends,

I put a forum up on unusual cameras for "Does anyone use 110 format anymore". I got loads of 110 Kodak 110 400 speed from the local CVS and the R.I. Brooks drug store liqudated in 3 packs for 2.49 to 2.99, depending on the store. But the Walmart here in R.I. still selld single packs at 3.99 or 4.99, something like that. Also the K-Mart in R.I.(which was a pretty new store that was built about less than 2 years ago) suddenly liqudated 110 format Kodak 400 speed 3 packs for an amazing 1.99 a 3 pack. Just about 3 days before that I was so happy to be able to get 110 film at there origanal price of 4.99 a 3 pack, I went back and bought another 3 pack and it came up at 1.99 USD so, I emptyed them of all there 3 packs(still before exparation of at the time 07/07)I got the last 6 packs of 3 packs. Now that's luck. And what was weird, was I befriended a girl at the photo center(now this is a not so good area for this store to be built, and I understand stores build around areas that appeal to the population) so the girl, her name is Jenny(what a beautyful asian girl, and knew actually about photography, which is rare in such a store like this one, she dissaperared one day when I went in, I guess she must have high tailed it, I would flert with her often), but back to the story..She staed that at that store she could actually in-house develop 126 film..Now that's odd, Walmart can develop 126 as a send out for a week or 2 and send out for develop 8mm and super 8mm for send out 2 weeks and even have them put on DVD or VHS for you for extra. But Walmart is the only chainstore I know of that can do 110 in-house in R.I. otherwise I go to CVS for a 3 or 5 day send out with doubles for 5.99 a cartrige. Ritz here in R.I. has Fuji 200 speed, but expired up to a year for .99 a roll, the exparationis usually like 10/05 or even 01/05,11/04. The worst that can happen as long as it's C-41 , what I learned is color saturation, I refigarate slightly expired film immeditly when I get home and I'll have a 9.5 out of 10 chance of my images comeing out. I guess C-41 seems to hold out longer. But as far as 126 film, which I can not find in R.I. and have to get from B&H or e-bay,etc is that Soloras, if I'm correct, It's made in Italy? But even if it's fresh and refigarated before use, I have to use the whole roll that day and send it out that day to get any image, otherwise, if I leave a 126 roll in my camera for more than a month, I loose any pics from the previous shoots I took. Anone elese have that happen?

Warren D., I shoot LOTS of 126 Solaris and Adox (from JandC) and I never have the problem of losing my images, even if the roll takes a while to finish. I mail it out to Vermont Color Lab for processing, and they do a very nice job with it for a reasonable price. The 110 goes to the local CVS. I use an Instamatic Reflex and an Instamatic 500, which are both pretty high-end cameras. The only problem I have...and I have the same thing happen with my 110, Minox, and Minolta 16 cartridges...is I sometimes get a vertical line on the last shot from light leaking through the slot on the cartridge.
