I read that the E110 does not meter correctly with 6V cells, unlike the A110 the circuitry does not adjust for the difference in voltage.
How are you dealing with that?
I developed a roll of 110 but the film was roached. Looks horrible. No point in posting anything from it.
On the upside, I loaded a 110 cartridge with microfilm to put in my Rollei E110. The shutter on that is intermittent, but with the microfilm it won't matter if I lose frames. I also loaded probably 50 exposures. Should be interesting to see what happens. Need to figure out the speed difference and put some ND over the meter window. The E110 will wind and fire without the spacing holes. I think the holes are just used to stop the winding on that camera.
I also picked up a Kodak Ektramax. I have a roll of Kodak in that now, just haven't used it yet. Should be interesting to see what the lens is like. It won't fire without the spacing holes though, so it is only usable for regular film.
If I get anything worthwhile I'll post it.
That only applies to the 16mm TriX, right? Never had issues with regular TriX.

Only cine Tri-Xn (whether 35mm, 16mm, double 8, or Super 8). It'll be marked as "Tri-X Reversal" or "Tri-X Negative" (two different films with different speeds) rather than 400TX, 320TXP, or similar.

The remjet is both an excellent lubricant and preventative measure with respect to static build-up.
It is particularly well suited to higher speed movie cameras.
So the remjet included movie films may be aimed toward certain technical uses.
Isn’t TX reversal just the way it is processed? If you use regular developer like HC-110 it will come out as a negative, right?
I developed a roll of Kodak micro film that I loaded in my Rollei E110. On the upside, the spacing was really good. On the downside there was a lot of fog on the roll but not in the frame. So I checked the camera with a flashlight and holy moly Batman! Stupid thing leaks tons of light into the film chamber. Just wondering if anyone can check theirs to see if this is just mine, or they were designed this way... I put the flashlight up against the front bezel on the non moving side. Leaks on both the top and bottom too. If anyone can check theirs and see if it leaks I'd appreciate it. Other than the leak it looks like reloading 110 in a Rollei is completely doable. And by the way, I got 40 exposures on the roll of Microfilm. Not bad.

All three of my A110s do that, it is part of the design that does not need to be light tight. But it does not affect the image due to the way the 110 cartridge is designed. All that matters it that it is light tight around the lens chamber area i.e where the photo is taken. Once a pic is taken it is wound into the light tight cartridge. It's why a camera like this is still light tight:
Never seen rimjet coated film but I think if it was the base side should be completely black. If it looks like the double x then woo hoo, I was misinformed about the backing. That will simplify everything, just regular developing in my usual HC110.Just loaded up my 16II with some 7266 Tri-X which I did not realize is rated at 200 ISO. No info out there how to develop it so I'm going to go with the old standby of HC-110B 7.5 min. I have no clue how old this film is or how it was stored. I bought it on a whim.
Also, there is no remjet on this film as far as looking at it tells me. I'll know more when I develop it.

Next roll is in the Auto 110. Issue is the Auto 110 will rate it at 320 because of the cart I used. I might need to push it a bit in development.
