Lomography all the same makes 110 film cartridges. A single color cartridge sells for near $9 (24 exposures).

110 moving picture was first introduced in 1972 as an culling to 35mm/135 format. A cartridge-based system, 110 moving picture offers a more convenient experience than 35mm: The cartridges can only exist inserted one fashion, so they're easier to load. And the design consists of two lite-proof containers, one for the unexposed scrap of the scroll, the other for the exposed portion. This means there'southward no need to rewind the roll at the end. And if yous exercise make a beginner's mistake and popular open the camera mid-gyre, y'all won't lose whatsoever of the shots y'all've taken.

The tradeoff is 110 picture show offers a smaller frame size than 35mm at 13x17mm, only information technology turns out that'south the same imaging area of a Four Thirds sensor.

Ultimately, 110 film never saw nearly as much commercial success as 35mm. Lucky for united states, there are plenty of 110 picture show cameras floating effectually the used marketplace for cheap. And even better, Lomography still makes and sells the format for not too much cash per roll.

Now the less lucky function: actually developing the format is a picayune tricky and requires a bit of a DIY spirit. Our friends over at 35mmc have an unabridged primer on the format, including how-to rework a standard developing tank to accept 110 moving picture (they also have plenty of samples). Go along and give it a read, then let the hunt for a Minox sub-miniature photographic camera brainstorm!
