110 film is very nice. lot of people like to hate on it but with good glass you can get the most out of the film. I've seen images printed up to 8x10 and still look amazing. I wish it was easier to reload the cartridges because I think the format would benefit a lot from T-Grain film like Portra or ektar
Oh wow, I built that model rocket as a kid. Lots of fun, but never quite worked right. You see there was supposed to be a delay between when the parachute popped out so that the nose cone would point downwards. Widely inconsistent. And then waiting a couple of days after dropping the film off at the little photo building, the ones that where everywhere the size of a ice cream stand. Good video, triggered nice memories. Almost forgot, I bought this camera from BH used dept in the mid nineties.
you are incorrect about the history of 110 film - No, Kodak did not stop making 110 film after 10 years, No, Fuji did not take over in the 1980's, and when they were finished with it, Lomography took over. Kodak made 110 film from 1972 until at least 2005, maybe a little later. Their last 110 film was Kodak Gold. Fuji was making 110 film from about 1973 when they introduced their first 110 cameras and they too made it until the new century, discontinuing Fujicolor 110 in 2009. It took a year or two for the last stocks to sell out. Lomography started making 110 film in 2012. Meanwhile, during the 1970's, 80's, and 90's there were at least a dozen manufacturers of 110 film. Hanimex 110 film was big, as was Agfa. I tended to use Pacific or Hanimex for color, and Kodak for Black and White, but there was always lots of choices in the shops. When Kodak introduced 110 format they released it in slide film (Kodachrome) and Black and White Verichrome Pan. They also introduced a brand new color negative film, Kodacolor II. This was the first color film sold using the new C-41 development process that all color negative film uses these days. 110 format was so popular that labs were forced to invest in C-41 processing, and that in turn allowed Kodak to introduce Kodacolor II in 35mm a few months later. In the 1980's Kodak rebranded Kodacolor II as Kodak Gold which became their last 110 film 20 years later. When Lomography started making 110 film in 2012, their first film was Orca black and white. I am very grateful that Lomography has supported 110 format and very happy that they are benefiting from recent renewed interest in the little format.
110 film came into existence as part of Kodak's company policy of creating new consumer camera formats to let Kodak dominate film and cheap camera sales for a few years before some other companies caught up, then they would do it again. Ex,: 126 Instamatic, 110, Disk film. I tried to get into 110, and my first 110 camera was the Minolta Zoom he shows in the video. Problem: It was huge and heavy. A half frame 35mm camera delivered a better picture on regular 35mm film, much smaller and lighter camera. I later bought a Minox 110 camera, which was as perfect a camera as you could get in 110. Problem: the lack of quality in the photos. The 110 format is really just the old 16mm subminature format with a propriety design of sproket hole so 16mm film won't work in the 110 camera, and visa versa (thanks, Kodak).After failing to score a deal on a full Pentax Super Auto 110 kit (thankfully), I woke up, smelled the proverbial coffee and sold it all. No regrets. Even for 110 film, those Lomo images look like crap. The film isn't cheap, and it's hard to believe it couid look so bad?
I Owned a 110 slr mk2 for a short while and got mostly decent results from some expired Tudor brand film (that's just a brand name that existed in the UK, they didn't actually make any film). Some of the photos were better than I expected, good colour, good sharpness and not big grain (for 110 film). I then tried cartridges of Orca 100 and Tiger 200. The results were pretty bad. The orca was especially bad - out of focus, very grainy and basically a waste of money. The Tiger 200 sometimes gave decent images but some had poor colour, some were very grainy and some had random patches of Green or Purple. In short the expired film (by more than a decade) gave better results than the new film. The thing to remember about ALL Lomog 110 film is that they have a long tab down the right hand side of the cartridge, meaning the camera will see it as "slow" film, even the films Lomog say can be used at 100, 200 or 400 such as the "Metropolis", "Purple", "Turquoise", the new "color 92 400" and the "Redscale 200". This means ALL cameras will over expose the film except the Minolta 110 zoom slr and the zoom slr mk2, by using the exposure correction dial. Set it to minus 1 to expose these films as if they are 200iso and minus 2 to expose them as if they are 400iso. Lomog. Also forget that Kodak, Fuji, Agfa etc. all made the best 110 films they could at the time but it seems as though Lomog. deliberately make these films to a very low standard. I've just bought a load of fuji superia 200 that expired in 2005 - I know it will be better than any Lomog. film.
Great info! I just ordered a Minolta 110 Zoom SLR to try out and have some Lomo Tiger 200 film. Are you recommending exposure compensation of -1 for the best results?@@seanperry8803
