Same size as ASP-C sensors.The APS images were the same size as today's digital images.
-) facilitated printmaking at the industry, at higher quality
These!-) repeatable image quality with re-prints
I'm based in the East rather than the West Midlands. I do work in Birmingham quite a lot however, so I've channeled my inner Brummie for this. The correct tool is indeed a hammer, as it is for most if not all jobs! It will be a hammer used inside a daylight bag obviously, I'm not a complete neanderthal!For handling the cassette there were dedicated tools, a reel would have to be adjusted to the film width
I might take a Sawzall to some crappy plastic reels and see how I get on.So what is the verdict? Has anyone figured out how to reload the cartridges and process the film in a daylight tank?
Developing: I've done this with success using an FR plastic tank.The centers around the core are both about 12mm from the flanges so if you push the top reel all the way down, it's a perfect fit to load APS. It's not ratchet load like most plastic tank but it does work. I use a toothpick to extract the start of the film, trim the edges at the end to curve inward slightly as they approach the end for less resistance when loading. In a historical irony, I've also transplanted the 24mm wide stock into recycled 126 cartridges - resulting in a slightly odd take on the term "sprocket shots."So what is the verdict? Has anyone figured out how to reload the cartridges and process the film in a daylight tank?
They also provided a brochure with elaborate market research explaining why the lousy quality of the disc would be so good for our business: everybody would always have the camera with them, the film would never be out of focus because of the mini format , and the film had absurd range of sensitivity.
Kodak stated formally and in print that the prints would look terrible but that customers would be happy to see in-focus and ok-exposure, would THEREFORE order many more prints because that's all they really wanted.
The size of the image was selected to duplicate the size of a digital imaging sensor.
Long live disc film !
(Just today I bought two different pouches for the resp. cameras.)
It takes surprisingly flattering pictures, the swing out lens cover moves the flash far enough from the lens axis to avoid red-eye.
To this day, I don’t know any other camera with built-in flash that has such a separation.
let alone the "special Processing" with the film in the cassette and the custom made index print, and all that other fun stuff that the consortium thought consumers wanted.You know, APS was dead long before this thread was started
Yeah, I know, you can sometimes get film, but go buy a new camera? I think not.

Just be glad we still have 120 after 117 Years of Continuous Production. Now THAT is a format
You know, APS was dead long before this thread was started and here the thread is, still going on and on.

Some of you may recall that a similar little box was sold by Kodak to display Kodak Photo CD on your NTSC television. I assume in Europe, where they used PAL and SECAM televisions, another version of the Photo CD reader was sold. I have some Photo CDs that need to be converted to TIFF files while the compact disks are still readable. I'll probably use the PCDMagic, which is supposed to interpret the Kodak colorspace properly.Here is a nice video about the APS system and showing a slideshow on your TV:
