110/16mm Camera Image Quality

[cannotShootStraight]

Please look at the link I provided https://www.subcompactcam.com/16mm_mec_16_sb.htm . Its indicated in the description.

"You can use single perf film if the perfs are towards the bottom of the camera". That's what I did basically. So I don't know. Maybe the film advance is working incorrectly after all those years or maybe it was never supposed to work with single perf film.

Holy molly these look fantastic! What scanner did you use? Was there a lot of dust after scanning?

I use a DSLR rig. I blow as much dust off as a I can and clone out whatever gets through.

This looks really good. I'm wondering if Minocolor 100 is actually Ektar 100? --jb.

 

[Minox]

As far as I know, colour films negatives for Minox (factory cut) were Minocolor 100 and 400 (Agfa) and Minocolor 100 Pro (Fujicolor 100 APS). I am talking about those marketed by Minox Germany. All these were sold beginning of the 80s.

Interesting to know that at one point (1992-93), Minox offered a version of Ektar (ISO 25) for 8x11 format, as specialty film. This was the famed Minocolor 25.

There were others producers/suppliers who had other emulsions sold for Minox 8x11 cameras.​

Thank You, Minox! Interesting information about the Minox flms.
It's a pity nowadays there is no color film less then ISO100. I tried Ectar100 but not satisfied with the results Here is the best:

Nice photographs ! You may try Velvia, even if it's slide film. Also, reportedly, Ektar 100 shot at 64 provides better results, less grain. Never tried it this way, but could be interesting.

For B\W I use ADOX CMS20II & Spur50. Spur shows good result up to ISO100. Much better than Foma100. I like Foma100 for its price\quality, but not for Minox 8x11

Thank you
I'll try Ektar100 with Pull to even 50 (one stop). But I have first do some drum for Jobo, like original Minox tank insert, but bigger.
In the line in February vacations are coming some tests with Edixa-16 & Rollei-16. I have already several films, from Kodak-7222 to technical unperforated. Edixa can eat all. Rolley only perforated

Please be sure to report on your results with the Edixa 16. I took pictures with this camera last year and was very happy with it.

It can't be Ektar100 if it is old stock film. The new ones are produced by Lomography. I don't think they used the most expensive modern film.
