Topic: 110 film (and thanks to forum members)

[lharby]

I got a 110 camera a while back and a couple of the members helped me out (I think Flippy actually sent me b/w filw). I promised I would show some results.

This is from a colour roll, not super happy with the results, but maybe this is the best I can expect (noisy and not much exposure control).

I will try out the b/w at some point.

(I also wired up the flash to trigger my studio lights, but they are still a bit noisy)

Quite nice... But what the heck is that trail of burn marks?

"I got a 110 camera..." covers a lot of ground. You say you are "..not super happy with the results,.." but 110 cameras came in a wide variety of price/quality points. Thus, a simple 110 camera with a fixed focus, one element plastic lens of fixed aperture and shutter speed might not produce anything better than a small (3.5X5 inch) album sized print that even then would not stand up too well when subjected to a close examination. Better cameras, with 4 element f2.8 focusable optics however, can produce results to the limit of the films 13X18mm negative size.

Oh yeah, what Francois said; the burn marks. A bit odd to say the least.

That's true that there were quite a few interesting designs when it comes to 110 cameras.
I have an Agfa Sensor that folds like a Minox and a Kodak Cameo that has a motor drive!

I have used a number of 110 camera and the Minolta 110 Zoom Mark II give me the best result.  It is a SLR with close focusing zoom, adjustable aperture and a hotshoe.  The lens also accept 40.5 mm filter which I can attached a lot of 37 mm old camcorder filters and converter lens with a step down ring.

Here is a shot with Lomo film and studio flash.

Ah, I have a Pentax 110 full kit (boxed).

It's a very nice thing. The flash was shot, and I was able to replace that pretty cheaply on ebay.

All the film I have for it has either been bought second hand, or donated, so most of it is out of date.

@MJL that is a very lovely shot.
