110 film

if you have 110 film use it.

if you have half frame or one of those cameras that makes square negatives on 35mm film, use it.

if you have something that shoots 16mm, or 7×11 ( Minox ), use it.

I recently found a treasure trove of prints and negatives from my love affair with 110 film. I used a Pentax auto110 camera.

I remember holding it in my hands, the heft of it, and the absolutely beautiful lenses it used. I wasn’t lucky enough to find the pan-focus lens and it would have allowed me to shoot the camera like a point-shoot. Im not sure what it did, but it was prized by auto110 users.

the beautiful thing about the Pentax is that it had a shutter that varied speed depending on the light, and it made fantastic photographs.

the problem with 110 is like everything else, film processing, and getting prints.

once you get the logistics figured out, if you find one, you won’t be sorry

I am a Freelance Photographer in Rhode Island. I make photographs using a variety of methods with and without a camera, and I teach photography online and in person. I make photo emulsions from scratch, I coat my own photo paper and make cyanotypes too. I am a huge fan of Caffenol ( I helped write the Caffenol Cookbook ) and instead of instant coffee, I roast my own Sumatra Robusta beans. I sell them so you can make your own long lasting, film and print developer called Sumatranol. I also sell silver recovery products.
