110 film
« on: September 18, 2012, 02:34:27 PM »
Just a heads up for US members who want to use their 110 cameras. The Four Corners Dark store is selling both color and B&W 110 film at $7.99 each for a 24 exp roll. It's that Fukkatsu brand, whatever that is, probably from China. Don't know if it's available from a UK supplier yet.

The catch of course is processing. Labs are closing and C-41 processing is being discontinued as machines age and, I assume, become unserviceable. B&W can be done at home and will survive but some people still want color also and increasingly will have to send it out, pay a lot, and wait 2 or 3 weeks.

I just tried out the Lomography ISO 200 Color Tiger firms (from China) with my Kodak Ekralite 500 and Demekin Fisheye cameras.  Its' color, grain & latitude are good and can print acceptable 5X7s.  My local custom lab (The Lab in Vancouver) still provide C41 processing and a contact sheet.  The hardest part was printing the images.  None of the local photo labs get the 110 setup anymore, so I have to scan the negatives and print from there.

what they dont tell you is that their machines can do 110 and 120 apperantly for 1 hour. I was not aware of this until only recently.

As a somewhat humorous aside, fukkatsu is Japanese for "revival" or "comeback".
