I bought three cartridges and used the first two in some other cheap and cheerful 110s cameras I have, including a Keystone with a very simple zoom. While they were OK they had really just confirmed the camera worked, my converted Paterson spiral worked and that Rodinal worked. I had the Kodak lying around from way back when 110 was the thing and thought that I might was well run the last cartridge through it. Single aperture and shutter speed so again was not expecting much. I did notice it claims to have a 24mm lens. I think the aperture can be altered using the flash setting but just stuck to the default.

With cropping keeping about 90% of the original area and minimal adjustment using Photoshop Elements (more spotting than anything0 the results in Rodinal at 25:1 for 6 minutes look quite reasonable. Cropping the 110 negative to 5X7 was more logical than the 6X4 usually used with 35mm. I scan and save in TIFF and then edit, save as TIFF and then bulk convert to JPG. As I cannot see any differenc on the jpg from the tiffs I delete the tiffs. I only use it from the scan and after the first effort for the lossless benefits. Not sure with lo-fi cameras it makes any real difference but it seems a sensible option.

Attached a sample of the results, the sun was shining for them all.

Good results from 110. What film is Orca? What did you use to scan?
