Frankly I'm super excited you guys are looking into this 126 stuff. While the nicer Kodak cameras i have seem to work with 35mm OK (namely the Instamatic Reflex and 500), I've been dying to try out the clockwork advance Minolta Autopak 800 rangefinder I have, which sadly doesn't.

Well, here's a vote for resurrecting APS film -- forget the 'digital' info options -- just the raw film in APS cartridges. I have all of the APS SLR models (Nikon, Canon, Minolta) and some of the fancier auto-focus 'all-in-one' cameras -- and I have collected a

Man I would love 100ft rolls of 127 black and white film. I would roll my own using old paper and spools.

[@user-xu6pt9eh3v]

Would love to shoot some brand new manufactured 126… any info on pack film ? Does ferainia have any of those machines

Question: You said to not buy expired Kodacolor II film. Is it just the age of the film? Because AFAIK it's C-41 process. That's all I'm seeing on eBay right now.
