APS..? yes

The film is 24 mm wide, and has three image formats: H for "High Definition" (30.2 ×16.7 mm; aspect ratio 16:9; 4×7" print) C for "Classic" (25.1 × 16.7 mm; aspect ratio 3:2; 4×6" print) P for "Panoramic" (30.2 × 9.5 mm; aspect ratio 3:1; 4×11" print)

But it's smaller than 35mm which is the small format.

The film is 24mm wide the same as 35mm. The tiny Canons were very handy when my children were small and I couldn't be encumbered with a lot of gear. I still have a couple of cameras and a bit of fim. 35mm reels will work for processing..

I picked up a Pentax efinaT at a local charity shop, last week. A replacement battery cost more than the camera. It has an unfinished film in it, which I'll finish, and then I need to see if there is a local processor for APS.

35mm film is pretty darn close to 35mm wide. The image is 24mm because the sprocket holes eat up so much real estate.

 

APS is a BIT more economical in terms of film area, since you get close to 17mm wide on a 24mm strip. Still, I think you're going to be fighting to reasonably get it on a 35mm reel.

 

Your best bet for home processing is going to be an adjustable plastic reel. The cheap Yankee reels-despite all their other downfalls-are good for this kind of stuff. They will go down to either 8 or 16mm, so finding an intermediate spot for 24mm wouldn't be too difficult.

Well, my first tests were a bit of a disappointment.

 

This was shot on Advantix 400 that expired in 2008. Scans are from the lab as I don't have a good way to scan them myself.

 

This roll was shot in a Nikon Pronea 6i, and I left it set to APS-H. I think the first photo was with the 24-70 lens that came with the camera(the oddball one that sticks way back into the camera) and the second was with the 14-24 2.8.

 

 

 

Here's a shot from my D800 taken the same day. My Velvia shot in an F5 also looks good.

 

 

If I try this again(I do have some more film) I'll probably dial in +1 e/c for all shots.

 

Alternatively, I might try hunting down some 100 speed film, and hopefully a BIT newer. The grain-or I should say dye clouds-is quite visible on even these low-res scans from a Frontier, so I think there's some definite improvement to be had.

I shot APS with a Contax TIX, and I subsequently owned a T3. IMO the TIX was the better camera In use and if APS hadn’t been canned I’d happily buy another.
