larrydressler Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I was recently given a 110 Camera that is only a lens with a winder ... the cartrage is the rest of the camera. It leaks light like hell and it is great if you put a glove over it in the right places.... 110 is a great format if you can get good processing .. I have a few 110 SLRs so I know. I also shoot 16mm with Minoltas and Kievs the problem is the only films that are made in 110 are Kodak 400 and 200 and Solaris 200 that is the old 3m 100. I can reload slit film in 1 of my SLR's because it does not rely on the film notch to set the shutter but I still love the format. I want all of you to pull out your 110s and play with them. http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=613353 Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric_onore Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Larry, What are you doing for scanning? Are you having them scanned at the time of development or are you doing it yourself? I have a Minolta Mark II but I have been thinking about getting something smaller to shoot the 110 I have in the freezer. What do you enjoy shooting?

eric_onore Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I meant what 110 camera do you enjoy shooting. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen hazelton Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I've bought several $1 cameras in dollar stores, but they are all 35mm. I've seen those 110 cameras in the past (used them for stocking stuffers long ago!), but haven't found 'em cheap, only on Ebay. Anyone know a current local source?

larrydressler Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 I enjoy shooting any camera. I have a Minolta 110 Zoom SLR that is a blast. I scanned these from the prints but I can scan with the Epson 3170 using the 35mm holder. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_b.1 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I have a Pentax Auto 110 which takes pretty amazing snapshots...I use the Kodak film mostly (in plentiful supply in the expired bins for a buck or less) and trim the tab so that the camera reads the speed correctly. I send tthe film to Sav-On or Walgreens for processing...it costs 3 dollars for single prints. It is the cheapest and best snapshot camera to use. One complaint is that there is no shutter lock, so the camera goes off in my pocket sometimes. I am a big fan of the Minolta 16, but the film issues pushed them into retirement. My stash of Minolta 16 cartridges have been re-loaded a few too many times and scarch the film up quite a bit. I am always in search of the great good pocket (film) camera.

larrydressler Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 I also have 2 Kiev 303s and I just got 20 brand new cartrages. they were still in the case. So I vet those will last me a few years. I re felted my Minolta cassets and they don't scratch. Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_robison3 Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 What kind of cartrages did you buy for the Kiev? Are they Kiev carts? thanks, John R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrydressler Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Yes they are Kiev carts. They will not work with the Minoltas because they are designed to hold longer rolls of film but the Minolta carts will work on the Kiev. I re felted the Minolta carts and they work fine in both types of cameras. but I just now use them in my Minoltas because I have 15 Kiev cartrages and that is more than plenty.
