Orca 110 Reversal experiment (success!)

[charlotteRF]

Noticing the "made in the czech republic" mark on the Orca 110 box, I went out and shot with the 20-40mm lens on my Pentax Auto 110

I processed the film exactly to the instructions in the Foma Reversal Kit, with no deviation besides using a hardening fixer for the final step

Here are scans, and then 100% crops, because I was really impressed at the resolving power of the zoom, and the film!

Spoiler: Shot 1

Spoiler: Shot 2

Spoiler: Shot 3

The results are so nice, I almost prefer it to the negative results I've gotten, seeing such tiny reversal film is magical.
Try it out for yourself!

Thank you for sharing.

Nice work! Positives can give some of the finest results when you get the exposure right.

Kodak made a Pocket Instamatic Carousel projector
I almost bought a Pentax 110 outfit at Artifacts, in Iowa City. So cool . I have too many projects

I liked the (Made in Germany) Orca 110 very much (developed as negative, never tried to develop as slide). Obviously, they've now changed the supplier of the material for Orca 110 from Orwo to Foma.

Might not be that big of a deal since I discovered that I like Fomapan 100 in 35mm and I guess I'll like it in 110 as well.

Anyone ever compared Fomapan R 100 to regular Fomapan 100, both processed in Foma reversal kit? I only tried R 100 and the slides were very nice.

Foma do mention in the instructions of the kit that Fomapan 100 can follow the same instructions as Fomapan R100

I plan to do some 6x6 slides in the near future with it to see the results, R100 and 100 are quite different films, so I'm curious about the results too

Now all you need are slide mounts to fit the pocket Carousel...
