Photoshop Elements is the better choice, and while not as full-featured or elegant as PSE, Gimp is free.

Around the corner from the Dodge Coronet was this DeSoto Firedome.<div></div>

At first I was upset at the light leak and scrath, but then it seems to complement the outdated concrete Mayan pattern relief at the late 1970's mall, itself a contemporary of the Canon 110ED era.<div></div>

The "D" in "ED" stands for "Date". I remember back in 1974 when I first saw the date imprinted on a photo that it was very cool, but also, doesn't Fotomat put the date in the white borders of the photo? It goes up to the year 1986 and then gives you single digits for 2000-2009 in anticipation of the 110 revival.<div></div>

If a 1980's "Kid 'N Play" haircut can make a comeback, maybe 110 film can, too.<div></div>

Once again dust, light leaks, and scratches (most likely from my hand-cut, home-rolled 110 film).<div></div>

If the moderator will allow, Like the Nikon EM with its dead battery safety 1/90sec shutter, the Canon 110ED will work without a battery with a default shutter speed (I think). It's a scale focus aperture priority 110 camera from 1974. You can search photo.net to see my outings with the Kodak Instamatic 60 110 camera and the Pentax auto110. This f/2 lens bests the Pentax (f/2.8) and the Kodak (F/2.7) and is crazy sharp for a 110 camera. Here it is:<div></div>

And here's the same shot from my Droid4 phone, manipulated with an in-phone app.<div></div>

The Bantam is scale-focus with a max aperture of f/4.5 yielding a generous DOF, but just thin enough to allow me to mis-focus. That wasn't the case here, but I wanted to compare this with my Droid4 cellphone.<div></div>

I didn't detect any bellows leaks; this appears to be backing paper related, either during loading or who knows.<div></div>

I cropped this one...<div></div>

This was the best of the 18 pic spool.<div></div>

Here it is open...<div></div>

Okay, here are the scans from my 1950 Kodak Flash Bantam 828 Folder, which sat patiently on my shelf for the last five years, waiting for another outing.<div></div>

Nice!

Make that 16mm for the 110 cartridge.<div></div>

The film from my Kodak Bantam and my Canon 110ED is hanging and drying. I will post results soon. I used a 36 exposure roll of Ilford FP4. In the changing bag I roll it onto an 828 spool with backing-paper I made from some used 120 roll using a little masking tape to help get the film going.. I measured out the equivalent of 9 perferation holes and centered a number that will show through the little round green window on the back of the camera. The original 828 film had one perf hole per frame that would catch a hook and stop the winding. I get 18 exposures to fit on the 828 spool. The smaller length of film is a 15mm-wide strip I slit from the remaining FP4 which I rolled up with backing paper and loaded into a 110 film cartridge and ran through the Canon 110ED. See this for more on my Bantam: http://www.photo.net/classic-cameras-forum/00TWPphttp://www.photo.net/classic-cameras-forum/00TWPp See these for more on my 110 adventures: http://www.photo.net/classic-cameras-forum/00QdLu http://www.photo.net/classic-cameras-forum/00QdLu And see you back here soon for the results of this weeks fun!<div></div>

It's gotta be 10 years since I started reading photo.net as a total novice. As my main source for learning photography I have been able to somewhat master camera techniques, lighting, image capture (film and digital), film developing and digital darkroom techniques. I took a few snapshots of the family last night at Thanksgiving dinner with a 10-year-old Canon Digital Rebel and they turned outvery well. My loved ones were THRILLED! Over the years I have been able to share and preserve the beauty of my family's love for one another. Thank you all...I couldn't have done it without you; photo.net has been a gift beyond measure!

I have been interested in the press kit C-41 for a while. Looks like you had good results.

Tony, you really make your cameras sing!

<p>There is a certain non-brass "steam-punk" look to these beauties!</p>

Oh, yeah...I did shoot at box speed (400), and I meant Acufine (which is not a Kodak product) and Kodak fixer.

Thanks, all. I'm gonna ease off the filters and not shoot so wide open. But up next is my 1948 Kodak Bantam. I tried rolling some film together with backing paper onto the 828 spools in the changing bag like I used to, but I was out of practice. I practiced some more with the ruined film and I should be good to go for another round tomorrow.

It may not be the greatest shot, but what I like about it is that it reminds me of the non-flash b/w recording studio photos from record albums.<div></div>

While I shot almost everything with a Mamiya/Sekor 55mm F/1.4 with the orange filter and a polarizer for the outdoor shots (that's why the sky looks so dark) this was taken with a Chinon 35mm f/2.8.<div></div>
