The film is still available on ebay and the like, but I am unsure where you can get it developed.
A quick google comes up with this link.
The main problem with 110, I have been told (by JR if I remember rightly), is that because the film is in a cartridge, there isn't a pressure plate to hold it nice and flat and in the right spot.
They are lovely bits of kit, but they do go for peanuts now on ebay apart from a few special bits like the ?sigma 1.7x teleconvertor or the Auto 110 Super.
Best wishes, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Correct, and being a smaller format register is more critical as the depth of focus at the film plane is very small.

Also Kodak stopped using correctly indexed film carts, so you have to chisel off the index lug if you want your 400ISO film exposed correctly.
I loved my 110, took some lovely photos, but the film is so hard to get processed these days

Indeed, thanks for that link, I had begun to believe that it was now impossible to do at any price. It's a lot of money for what will never be as good prints as you get from 35mm though

Very true. Sad to say but I fear the 110 has become little more than an ornament.

What is the availably of 110 film these days, and where can you get it processed ?
The reason I ask is these cameras go for peanuts on ebay now, so I thought I might keep an eye open for a nice looking one. I might like to run the very occasional film though it too.
Cheers,
