[Helios 1984]

Ah kids these days don't even know what that is.

I used this format until 2006-2007, around the time we bought a crappy HP digital point-and-shoot.
I wish I had stockpiled the stuff.

Hi Allen

You only need another 10 primes and no zooms to be equal

Another useless observation from a NASA nobody

Dave

A couple of old Russian primes and job done, you may then even need to buy a small zoom they are like tanks

I could make a joke about Russian primes but it would be political so I won't

I worked at Ritz Camera from 2005 to 2009 and I remember having only a few customers who used aps film bit I rather enjoyed developing it. The idea behind aps was great bit it was unfortunate that it was so much smaller than 35mm. I find it funny though that the digital format that almost wiped out film borrowed it's name to describe sensor size and now a new photography generation doesn't know why it is called an aps-c sensor.

Somehow I never came across aps film in my film days, so I really discovered aps film after the aps sensor...

Here, in Québec, it was very popular and almost everyone owned an APS point-and-shoot. I don't think consumers cared much about the smaller size as most folks paid for small prints anyway. It was easy to load, you could change the film mid-roll and storage was wonderful. On the negative side, it cost more to process than 35mm.


It's also funny to think that APS-C & APS-H refers to faux in-camera cropping sizes, and not to the actual size of APS frames.
And even funnier to think that 110 is still manufactured while APS is long dead.

lol

I agree, it doesn't make too much sense that 110 is still around even though aps is gone. If I remember correctly we didn't charge more for aps but even in 2006 I may have dad 1 or 2 customers developing 110

Don't forget aps-p ..... panorama
Just crop the top and the bottom to make it seem like it is a panoramic photo.

The whole complex cartridge of APS is probably a factor there.

Still in progress, but I have trusted Keh with one of my favorites, the Pentax-D FA 645 90mm f 2.8 SDM HD AW, to try to deal with some missed focus difficulties. Hoping for the best as this is one of my favorite lenses of any format.
