Options for 110

Is anyone aware of options for 110 film other than Lomography or expired rolls?

Thanks,

None that I'm aware of, but there probably is somewhere out there.

Filmphotographystore had Fukkatsu 110. I believe it’s expired but only pretty recently. Someone on another site posted some pics on Fukkatsu recently and they looked great. Other than the various Lomography offerings, that it.

That, or reloading cassettes with bulk 16mm film or cutting your own film down to 16mm. It’s pretty easy.

This YouTube video walks you through it.

Does bulk 16mm work in the Auto 110? What ISO does the camera treat it as?

Depending on the film cassette (whether it’s notched or not) I believe the auto 110 treats the film as 400 or 80 I believe. I think 100 and 200 iso film is considered close enough to be shot as 80 with good results.

I think non perf film or single perf film are preferable to double perf.

Filmphotographystore and some
Other film retailers sell bulk non-perforated 16mm film which would work well. I think they have 100 iso stuff in stock

I've used various current films in reloaded cartridges, like Ektar, Portra, Ektachrome. It's good to pick film that is close to the ISO that the camera is using (80 or 320, depending on the notch), but if you overexpose it a bit -- for negative film anyway -- it still works pretty well.

Also it's best to use low ISO films in order to get the least grainy photos, since the negative is so small (unless you are going for a grainier look). Which is why I have used Ektar, Portra 160 and E100.

The Lomography films are very grainy.

Fukkatsu 100 film tells the camera that is is ISO 400. It is a Japanese brand but the film is crappy Chinese film. Lomography film is fine grained in comparison. Fukkatsu was supposed to be originally available in other emulsions but I'm not sure if they ever really happened.

Do you use a homemade splicer to cut the Kodak films?

Yes, but I bought it from etsy. The guy who has been making them for like 20 years is selling them on there.
