Just for grins I thought I would post a couple shots of my "Baby" Pentax. The first is the case that I used for my outfit when it was my everyday, take it everywhere, kit. This rig was always with me in my car, or on my shoulder. Shown with my Spotmatic F for size comparison. The Spottie weighs as much as the whole 110 kit! The contents of the bag The camera is wearing the "normal" 24mm. The other lenses are: (left to right) 70mm (140 in 35mm), 18mm (36mm equiv) and 50mm (100mm equiv). The winder is bandaged due to the usual broken tabs on the battery door. It works perfectly, but I seldom used it. I could double-stroke the advance lever quicker than the winder would function. I hope the processor that I found works out. If so, stand by for a flood of 110 pics! ;D Roy

Yea, you really have to have one of those 110 SLRs in your hands to appreciate how compact they are. Nice set up you got and I hope the processor works out for you. It is getting hard around here to have anything other than 35mm C41 processed.

Roy, other than the duct tape it looks a really nice set up. Anyone out there got a disc camera? I think I still have my parents' camera somewhere. I wonder if disc film is available anywhere - not too likely I wouldn't have thought.

Duct tape? Duct tape?
I'll have you know that is precision engineered, (ripped with teeth and fingernails) pressure molded, (mashed down by thumbs) self-adhering, (sticky) high tensile strength aircraft grade fabrication material (100 mph tape)!! So there! ;D Ol(sm*rt *ss)Roy

Roy, 100 mph tape? It's not even a high speed winder! How many 'rolls' of film do you have in stock - do you have enough? Dave.

When I had a Kodak Pocket 110 I shot Verichrome B&W in it and processed it and adjustable developing tank at the narrowest setting--I think the one for 16mm film. Here's the first photo of our oldest daughter using the 110 camera and available light--August 1972.

I have a Russian made 8mm tank, certainly with settings for super 8 and 16mm. The standard 8mm was 16mm film slit in two. I am not sure if there is a 9.5mm setting (or was that the same size as super 8?) There is also has a 35mm width for bulk-back film. I never used it much: amongst other things it was always difficult to load.
I've never used a 110 camera, though as I said elsewhere I did consider the Pentax 110 at one stage.

Heh-heh-heh! ;D I have about 45-50 rolls sealed up and frozen. That should last a while. The problem with the 110 processing now is that there are very few outfits that have retained the masks for scanning to disk, or for printing anything but lousy little 3X5 prints. I can get negatives from several places. I've been on the look-out for a film scanner capable of scanning 110, but when I find one the prices go out of reach. As much as I enjoy using it, and as good as the results are, realistically I realize that its days as an everyday shooter are over. It's a shame, because the camera is an extremely capable performer, fully able to produce pin sharp 8X10's, and even decent 11X14's. If I had to choose one camera as my overall, all-time favorite, the little Pentax would be it. Progress dont'cha know! Roy

Roy: That was taken with the high end Kodak 110 (Model 100, I think). It had a split image RF and a Zeiss F2.8 lens. Somewhere I think I have some Kodachrome slides of San Francisco I shot with it earlier in 1972. They are amazingly good but a standard 35mm prokector doesn't blow them up large enough for easy viewing. The were was a scaled down model of the kodak slide projector made for 110. The KODAK 110 POCKET CAROUSEL projectors don't come up too often but the last one on Ebay sold for the princely sum of $9.99! W

Oh Man!! That's just not fair, Wayne! I think you must have posted that just to tantalize me! Not long ago I would have been all over that like a hen on a June bug!! Then my local Wal-Mart did away with their in-house wet lab. >:(Haven't tried the new guy yet for processing. Maybe I'll thaw out a roll and shoot it at the air-show, and find out how good he is. Roy

I have two Pentax 110s, one Super. In standard drugstore prints, you can't tell the difference between the 110 shots and those from a top 35mm camera.
The 70mm lens is a hoot to use, and very sharp.

Duro Plastic Welder will repair those tabs better than new.

Roy, "I've been on the look-out for a film scanner capable of scanning 110, but when I find one the prices go out of reach."Google Optex Deluxe Digital Scanner. Or try this - www.davesdomain.ca/barter/It comes with holders for slides, 35mm film strips and110 film strips. It is cheap. Less than $50.00. I bought one about six weeks ago but have not had much opportunity to use it so I cannot say how good (or otherwise) it is. But for $50 bucks -------. I want it to scan my 35mm slides. I had a problem with the first one he (Dave McIntosh) sent me. He replaced it within two days. He is very pleasant and concerned. Mickey
