Man, you get really nice results on 110!
Thanks! So much fun using the tiny Rollei, like being a kid again!

Your childhood was better funded than mine.

My Kodak Ektralite 10 never gave me colors like that... though I also didn’t have an Adobe subscription in 1979...

It was largely due to my disappointment with the Kodak that I stepped up to a real camera and bought my K1000 two years or so later... (I could change shutter speed and aperture!)

lol, er no! I had a Polaroid when I was a kid, and the film was so expensive it would be only used on special occasions.
I always wanted a 110 camera back then - the size seemed to cool and being able to get 24 exposures instead of just 10!

My grandmother took me on a trip when I was a couple years older and had worked out the K1000.
I shot slides because they were cheaper at the time, but I spent the whole trip rationing my shots because I couldn’t afford more film.
When I got home, I had to space out processing as I got money...what a pain...

And slide film now is more expensive than Polaroid was then...

But you are definitely getting great results from that Rollei...

I remember well rationing shots because film and developing seemed pricy at the time.
Huss, are you those home developed and scanned or do you take them somewhere?

I’m pretty chintzy with my 110 shooting (see above) so I’ve been mainly shooting cut down 35mm kentmere and between home developing (water spots on the negatives etc) and difficulty scanning, my results have not been near what yours have been. I ought to pick up some more Tiger. It’s pretty good stuff.

I get them developed at my local shop (I only develop 35mm and 120/220 B&W myself), then scan it with my digicam on a copystand, with the film held in a Lomo Digitiliza filmholder placed on top of an LED light pad ($20 on Amazon).
Then I convert the RAW images to positives using negativelabpro.com.

fyi Lomo 110 film has one weird flaw - the backing paper they use is too thin so often there will be light leaks through it resulting in small red orbs randomly appearing. A few times I have seen a general pinkish 'glow' in the center area of the image. I'm not sure why after literally all these years they haven't fixed it! You can tape up the back of the camera, but I like to see the exposure count.
It doesn't actually bother me as this is 110 film that I am having fun with, and the randomness of those orbs can be interesting.
