110/16mm Camera Image Quality

[Huss]

Rollei A110, Lomo Mistaken Identity - which in this case turned out to be Lomo Purple

 

[Huss]

A110 - the Lomo Purple seems very grainy.

Lomo Purple in my A110 is also grainy. I like the effect though, especially when there are lots of colors in the picture. I've got a roll waiting for Spring to...well...spring.

The grain looks good to me.

I like it but it is very noticeable compared to the other 110 films I use.

Hey Huss,

Really enjoying these images. If I may ask, where are you getting your 110 color film processed? Are you processing it yourself, or sending it to a lab somewhere?

Best,

Hey Tim

I am lucky enough to have a local lab process it - Paul's Photo in Torrance, California. They do it in an hour - along with any other film I drop off.
It is actually one reason why I picked to live where I live - I kid you not. When I lived in Venice I would use Samy's Camera in Culver City, but they closed. There only remaining location was the main store in West LA, which is such a PITA to get to due to traffic and not being close to a freeway.

Also Samy's has a seven day plus waiting time.

Eh? Have they stopped doing it in-house? Why would anyone want to deal with them now? The Culver City Samys would also do it same day for me, back in the day.

Samy's still does developing and printing in house, but the backlog is longer now.

Eesh, I'd drive down to Paul's if I was in LA, instead of waiting 7+ days.

I may just start doing that. I have been thinking of just that. About 45 minutes one way versus doing a 40 minute round trip and a second one more than a week later.

And an hour or so killing time in the neighborhood. Bring a camera and some extra film...

It's what I do - drop it off, take my dog's to the park in Malaga Cove, by the time they are done, the film is ready.

Huss,

Are the above color shots done with a Rollei A110? And is the "framing" on the Lomography film the reason the edges look like a double exposure? The Lomography film has the pre-exposed framing, but the Rollei A110 has actually a wider picture area per frame? Do I understand that correctly?

Thanks.

Best,

That matches my understanding. The 110 standard includes the pre-exposed frame lines synchronized with the one perforation per frame (that activates the advance stop and unlocks the shutter in many cameras), but many 110 cameras expose a little more area than that.

Nice. I need to check if I can get that film in single perf (or in shorter rolls than 400' in 35 mm, to feed my stereo camera).
