It ranks right up there with the Disc and 110.
We should all be thankful for the Disc and 110.

Both formats were developed because of the need for small P&S cameras, that were easier than 35mm for the casual snapshooter to load and unload.

(in fact, 126 was designed with the same idea in mind, but the square format resulted in 3 1/2" x 3 1?2" prints (at the time) that didn't appeal to people, the cameras weren't that small, and they had film flatness problems)

In order to make 110 and, in particular, Disc film practical, Kodak and others had to put a significant amount of resources into developing wide lattitude finer grain films.

All of our modern colour films owe a lot to that work.

All of which reminds me that my Dad used to shoot 110 Kodachrome, and sometimes still shoots 110 print film. Somewhere, I still have a 110 slide projector in storage (I think). It made for great presentations, because it would fit in a small briefcase, and a filled slide tray was tiny! You could even get Kodak to duplicate your 35mm slides down to 110 size, for that purpose.

I better be careful that I don't accidently post this in the Large Format forums! :smile:

I picked up one of those projectors recently, along with a bunch of slides - the quality is surprisingly good. I can respool cut down slide film without too much problem, but need to figure out where to get 110 slide mounts! Any ideas?

(ironically 127 slide mounts are no problem at all!)

Don't write off 110 till you've shot 110 in a Pentax or a Rollei.
