New 110 film at Walgreens!!!

I was just at my local Walgreen's, a chain pharmacy and general shop here
in the states, and saw 110 film on the rack. I asked the photo department
girl about it and she said they always use to carry it but stopped for a
bit and now the distributor has a new batch of it. I checked the dates on
some boxes and they were until 2008 so it seems fresh enough.

Is there much call for 110 out there?

More than you would imagine at this stage. I also have no problem obtaining
110 film and processing where I live.

But I thought film was dead.

I see lots of C-41 film available in 110 format. Mostly it's Fuji and
store brands (which appears to be manufactured by Konica).

I don't think I've seen any from Kodak for a while.

I believe Kodak stopped 110 production in 2002 or 2003, I can get Fuji
Superia 200 and Ferrania FineGrain+ 200, in 110 format.

I buy 110 film for my Pentax Auto 110 SLR at Walmart.
Still manufactured by Kodak, Exp. dated 4/2007 in 400 speed.
And I use their send out Fuji processing charging $2.83 / 24exp.
Negatives scan beautifully.

PS: Just thought I mention this so people know it's out there.

What scanner do you use to scan 110 negs? I have tried two differant flatbed
film scanners and neither will recognize the 110 neg.
I love 110 film. It allows me to annoy my friends that have to have the
latest and greatest digital cameras.

Frank,

I am lucky enough to have access to a Nikon 9000 film scanner, but any scanner
that can scan negatives should do. This scanner has an optional 16mm film
carrier tray which I bought for $200 US. (a Nikon over engineered rip off).

But I found out too late that a company by the name of GEPE makes 35mm size
holders with (13x17mm) center cut outs for 110 film. The plastic mounts pop
open and close for reusability, and the 6 picture negative doesn't have to be
cut for scanning. The excess just hangs past the sides of the mount.

GEPE also has a mount with a cutout that's 8mm. Seems perfect for scanning
Super8 movie film. My next project.

Great links, thanks.
I tried scanning 110 negs with a Canon LIDE 500F. The scanner wouldn't
recognize the neg. I tried two 110 negs placed in the 35mm holder side by
side, it still wouldnt recognize them. My friend tried them in a differant
scanner ( I don't know the type), it wouldn't scan them either. I'm going to
order some of those holders, give that a try.

A girl on Coney Island asked me to take a photo of her with her brand
new 110 camera.
I told her I didnt these were still made. lol

so i guess APS and 35mm will be with us for a while.
