I picked up a Fujica Pocket 600 a while back after searching for years for one. After I stopped searching I stumbled over one. Always the way, isn't it? It has an actual rangefinder so no guess focusing.

Rangefinder, wow! Looks like Fuji also made one with a Zoom too.
 
I'm sure it's been mentioned before, Canon 110 ED also has a rangefinder, and most everything you can have in a camera, even a (crude) aperture priority auto exposure. The only thing that I can think of that it lacks is a self timer.

Main thing is, it's much more common than Fujica Pocket 600.

There were 2 different Minolta Zoom SLR cameras, not to forget the Pentax with interchangeable lenses, also one zoom lens. The Minox 110S, just mentioned, and its Balda 1000 originals are rangefinders too. For more details see also my website https://www.subcompactcam.com/

Minox B. ADOX HR-50 in ADOX HR developer. Compare this with the much larger negative used for the shot in my previous post.
 
I shot the eclipse on a Pentax Auto 110. No idea if anything came out. I think I'm the only one in the world who shot an eclipse on 110 this time around.
 
nope, I drilled a hole in a body cap, so the camera could make an exposure.
I put a telelens in front of it (freelensen) and covered the space in-between up with cloth.. It was quite a job... the experiment was perhaps better than the result.. you are to decide...

I'd call this a success. Pretty cool stuff.
 

Welcome to Photrio! Nice work. Please share more.
 
Nice! Not many people in the world could make that exposure you did on 16mm film.



I could, but i'd be cheating....

 
I used to have a H16 reflex bolex once, with a Nikon adapter, much fun too!
(I see yours is an 8) looks good!
 
My first roll of Lomo Orca 100, by Pentax Auto 110 and 50/2.8 lens. Film was developed in Adox FX-39 II 1+9, while scanned in Epson V700 with Camerhack Penso 110 holders. It seems scanning at 4800 dpi results in decent quality. The main challenge is to get the film flat in the holder.

There are 110/16mm adapters that clip into a 35 mm film holder for Epson scanners, at least. They keep the film plane where it was with the 35 mm, so you don't have to adjust the holder's feet to keep focus.
 

Very nice results -- and with 100 film. I guess that ISO 100 is as low as you can go with the Pentax 110 -- am I wrong about that?
 
If you can reload your cartridges you could beat that grain and resolution with T-Max 100, Delta 100, or Acros II -- but Orca is probably the finest you can get in 110.
