The 126 reloaders only work with cheap cameras and you need to cover the lens for two shots between shots. I managed to get 126 working in a feeler based camera. Same should worth with APS.
I certainly hope you succeed. There are lots of people over at the SUBCLUB that reload 110 cassettes, 17.5mm (HIT) cameras, etc. (and let's not forget about the 126 and 828 fans). We all think the effort is worth it, and share our new approaches and successes. We'd love to add APS to the list -- but I don't buy lottery tickets.

I think it would be possible to cut out the middle portion of the film, leaving the top and bottom and placing a 16mm film inbetween
If I look at your list: The Minolta had a good reputation but may be hard to service. Noritsu scanner HS-1800 has specs that give a max resolution of 4492x6774 (3/2 ratio), so probably not the same resolution for APS (16/9 ratio), may be expensive though for digitizing the tens (not hundreds) of APS rolls I did shoot. Is that your experience?
What about the others you listed? Were you happy with the quality?

Sounds like the definition of FUN to me.
The world is holding its breath.
I ground off the feeler in my Yashica 126 camera - because it has a good lens and exposes properly. I can advance until I see the number line up in the window - the shutter cocks on the first wind.
I found my only APS camera, but no film cannister. Again, by looking at the format, I think it would be possible to cut out the middle portion of the film, leaving the top and bottom and placing a 16mm film inbetween. If this goes through the camera or not, I won't know until I try it.
Are you going to find some expired APS cannisters?
Do you mean these guys haven't convinced you to simply reload your APS film cassettes?
I'm shocked.
Anyway, if you are thinking of an APS Sony e-mount camera for your Vectis lenses, you have a good selection to choose from -- and some are relatively small, and very inexpensive (ex. Sony a-3000). Or are you thinking of a Sony FULL-FRAME e-mount camera? There are a lot of them too, but your Vectis lenses won't cover the sensor -- but you know that.
About reloading -APS film have not only the different perforation, but also magnetic strip. It happens that Vectis camera just winded the film to the end or said that film already exposed, due to bad magnetic strip
I thought about reloading... APS, 110, 126... too many problems
About Sony-E -no need for FF, APS frame is smaller. The cropped version is much cheaper. I liked Vectis 17mm, Macro 50mm & Reflex 400mm. Others are just strong middle-class, weather sealed, lightweight & cheap.
Not all cameras let you use incorrectly perforated or unperforated film. For example, I can use Pentax 110 Auto, but not Tasco7800\8000 binoculars with camera. I am trying to take photos with every camera from my collectionReloading 110 is very easy. Are you sure that the 'exposed' tab on the cassette wasn't punched?

Correct me if I'm wrong. I thought that the Pentax Auto 110 SUPER could be reloaded with un-perforated film, but not the original model.
I'll correct myself:
The original Auto 110 models can use the reloaded cassettes without any modiofications to the camera or cassette. And reloaded cassettes can be used in the Auto 110 SUPER if a small change is made to the cassette. Specifically, the SUPER has a tiny cassette sensor along the edge of the film plane. If a notch is cut in the cassette edge to avoid pushing the sensor, the camera will operate normally.
That good to know because it's a top-notch 110. You can even get a 2x tele-converter for it.
Was there anything else other than the Nikon 5000 (and some predecessors) that could scan APS film?
