How to Load 35mm Film into a 126 Cartridge
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 ноя 2017
- In this video, I demonstrate how to take 35mm film (135 film) and use it to load a 126 film cartridge (which is discontinued by all manufacturers, and no longer available).
126 film was a popular format and used in several cameras since the 1960s like the Kodak Instamatic series as well as others.

If you don't already have a 126 cartridge, and don't mind shelling out a few clams for an adapter, there's a guy who 3D prints a 126 adapter to use 35mm film. www.camerhack.it/product/fakm...

Hi there. I'm Chris. Film is more fun is a place where I share about whatever busted up old camera I'm currently shooting and tinkering with, or my meanderings in film photography. It would be pretty rad if you said what's up. I'm 99% friendly. Definitely do that. Disclaimer: If you want technical proficiency go watch 'The Art of Photography' (love that show). These videos are more like an elderly person navigating a tv clicker.

I like this video. I have made a bunch of "how to" / DIY videos on photo stuff including this topic and I like your better. Good job!
Hey thanks! I'll go check out your vids this weekend.
Excelente video, me será muy util para probar una Agfa Autostar X-126, el cartrid lo haré con impresora 3D, muchas gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Chile.
Thanks 🙏 for the video, this will be very useful for me because I have a CANOMATIC M70 cámara 📷
I'm glad you found it helpful 🙂
thank you
You're welcome 🙂
Hi!
Nice video.
I got one old 126 film. I shot that full, now willing to brake it (open it) carefully, so I can still develop that film. but I also want to save that cartridge for reloading. Any more good tips or links to some videos ?
Thanks!
Raido
Hi Raido! Sorry, really no other tips than what is in the video. Maybe just mentioning to slowly rock/ twist the cartridge very slowly to try and minimize damage. If you search online, there may be some other posts about opening the cartridge.
Are gloves necessary/recommended when loading and unloading film? I want to try this but I don’t want to ruin any film after (or before) shooting it. Also, how do you know when you’ve advanced frames fully? Thank you :) very informative video
Hi Markus! I wouldn't worry about gloves. It might be a good idea to wash your hands before loading everything to minimize any oils on your hands from getting on the emulsion, but to me it was never a concern.
As far as knowing when it's advanced fully- well, you kind of have to guess. It will take a few times of trial and error to figure out about how many pictures you can get out of whatever length of film you load in. Hope that helps!
@Igor Sheremetyev It's funny how flaws and mistake from old times is art today
Hi, I found a Kodak Instamatic 56x and I've got the 126 film so I found your video very clear and helpful for the next time, when I'll recharge it. But I'm not a pro photographer and I'm gonna ask you something, probably stupid: Can You use the rest of the 35mm film for the next bunch of photos or is completely useless?
Thanks, btw!
Hi Marcello! Sure, if you only remove a little bit from the film canister, and there is still fill rolled up inside you can still shoot that in a 35mm. Hope this helps!
@@filmismorefun Totally! Hope my Kodak will have a new life!
@@marcellomarmiroli1130 did You succeed ?
I didn't try cause I'm a little busy at the moment. I can't tell you if it works, but theorically it has to@@HeavyMentalTV
thanks for this! can you show us some results? take some more pictures and make a video going though the roll?
Hey there. I used this DIY cartridge in a video review on a Kodak Instamatic. About 5 minutes into the video I walk around and shoot/ show the results:

Do you know any way to use 35mm in 110mm? Or some way to shot in a 110mm camera? tks!
Hi Catarina! I've never done it, but I'd imagine you could use the same techniques as shown here with 126, except that you would have to cut down the 35mm to 110 size, and have an empty cartridge. If you do try it please let me know how it turns out, I am curious to know! 🙂
@@filmismorefun Thank you !
I’ve got this Kodak automatic which requires an 126 film.. how can I make it ? Should I get an adapter ?
Hi! To make an adapter you need a 126 cartridge. The best place to find one is on eBay. :)
@@filmismorefun thanks a lot 🤘❤
is it safe to use a red light headlamp when handling film in the dark?
No, because film is also sensitive to red light. It takes a little prep to do everything in complete darkness, but after a few practice runs it should go pretty smooth.
Does it have to be in a special dark room
No, not at all. Any room that is completely dark will work. A large closet, or a room with no windows could work. 🙂
I know I’m late but if your doing it in a room that has doors that are an 1” or two off the ground stuff towels or something in between the floor and the door so you don’t have any light leaks on film. If you do this a lot you could invest in a darkroom bag. They are about $30-$35 but they aren’t necessary if you have a room that you can black out.
