Having recently been bitten by the auto 110 bug, I have been researching places for buying 110 film, developing it, buying accessories, and learning more. Here are a few sites I have found.
B+H
I'm setting up an account now with, Japan Exposures , the picture of the film box has a big 100 on it and new film!
I bought the 70mm lens, but Collectible Camerashas accessories at good prices.
Dwaynes will develop it cheaply, although I'm looking for someone local.
There's certainly Blue Moon.
Here is the Manual.
Steve, at the Pentax110,is helpful.
Who can forget The Frugal Photographer?
I've discovered the library.
I've kept Auto-110 Heaven busy of late.
Rick Oleson's page is informative.

What have you found?

Not taken any actual photos with it for years though I'm ashamed to say...

I've got a finished film somewhere, but I can't find anywhere to get it processed

anyone know of a place in the UK?

I am contemplating selling my 110 kit as I never use it, but then I pick it up and think what a good conversation starter it is with photographers and I can't quite bring myself to do it.
you don't have to be mad to post here



but it does help

There have been miniature versions of Rolleiflex and Laica cameras put into production by Minox as 5MP digital cameras, so making a digital version of the 110 would not be impossible by any means.

Whether it would be financially viable is a different matter altogether.
Best regards, John

Looked into that, conversion was not possible, mainly due to the thickness of a sensor which puts the focus plane out!! Now, a replacement back to the camera, that is possible! A miniature 4/3 camera!

I got my past 110 film developed by Jessops (New Oxford Street branch) about a year ago, don't know if they still do, though they had to send it off.

Here we go:

Interesting statement on the website:

"Unfortunately we can only now accept emails and enquiries in English - Apologies for this!" Which of course means that until just recently they weren't able to accept instructions in English.

Somehow, I don't think that was what they intended to write.
