What films are available for Minox 110S

[MTC Photography]

Minox 110S camera works with ASA 100 and ASA 400 film. <p> At the right hand side of the film chamber in

110S, there is a metal spring film speed sensor. <p> ASA 110 film cartridge has a 15mm long ridge at right hand side, which presses down the film speed switch in the camera.

<p> In early days, ASA 400 film cartridge's film speed marker was only half as long, with the lower part missing; when this kind of old ASA400 film was loaded in to 110S, the film speed switch was not pushed down.

<p> ASA 200 and ASA 400 110 films are still widely available from photo stores and supermarkets.

<p> But these newer ASA 200 and ASA 400 110 films all have the longer 15mm film marker, as if ASA 100 film.

<p> When an ASA 200 110 film is loaded into Minox 110S, all pictures will be exposed as if ASA 100 film, ie, there is one stop overexposure.

<p> To use ASA 400 110 film, one can use a pair of wire cutter to cut off the lower section of the 15mm film marker ridge, so as to miss the

film speed switch in the camera.
