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. wrote in message k.net...

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. "no_name" wrote in message m...

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. Michael.....

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. "Michael" wrote in message ...

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 link here; http://www.gepe.com/english/113-txt.htm B&H link; http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ughType=search GEPE also has a mount with a cutout that's 8mm. Seems perfect for scanning Super8 movie film. My next project. Michael...... On Fri, 09 Dec 2005 01:54:50 GMT, "Frank McDonald" wrote: What scanner do you use to scan 110 negs?

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. "Michael" wrote in message ...
