Post your Subminiature camera pics of restaurant menus and restaurant pics in general.

If you're reloading your 110 cartridges and your camera will work without film perfs, you can get at least three (four if you're very careful) strips by recutting 120. That opens up the whole range of "professional" emulsions.

Yep, I know of this and I'll be trying it at some point but I'm looking for cine stock. Specifically 500T. Someone out there must know where to find recans and short ends.
 
Looks like Adorama and Unique Photo have some 100' lengths of 16mm Vision3 -- didn't look to see if they all the emulsions, just came up on the Google page.

All out of stock it seems. And they tell me that film is not popular these days...
 
Well, that's probably that supply chain disruption thing again. Those are where I'd look, though eBay is another option if you don't mind some element of risk...
 
Ebay is a minefield...

I've been buying cameras on eBay for about twenty years -- I've gotten a couple duds, but in almost every case was able to either return it or get a refund (and most of that time I've paid only lunch money anyway). I have not bought film on eBay, but I wouldn't hesitate to do so from the accounts of retailers like B&H, Adorama, or Freestyle (where they might sell items they don't want to offer through their store or web site, due to expiration or uncertain condition, but note that in the eBay listings). I'd be very cautious buying film from a random seller on eBay; at the very least, I'd ensure that it's not a seller in China or other Far Eastern country, where one might get a 35 mm cassette containing multiple very short film strips taped together (I've read about this here on Photrio), or film that's completely not what the seller said it was.
 

For the most part I've done well with Ebay. Buying film is a little tricky though.
 
I see all sorts of offers on eBay, like the four rolls of 16mm Kodak colour film for $125 recently, but, though I welcome any films I might get locally from 'strangers' or sellers on this forum, Rangefinder Forum or the Large Photography Forum, I'm still hesitant when it comes to ebay, for some reason.

It's one thing to do a joint buy with some others here or there, but something else to test those waters on ones own.
 
The topic is simply a easy exercise and challenge to get us to take our tiny cameras out in easy and common locations and make good photography, to share with each other.

Restaurants are easy to access, but it's a rough, open to interpretation, so food trucks, gas station with hot dogs and pickles eggs, McFast Food, etc are all good.

Environmental Portraits are also fine, even desirable, just no 'up-skirting' type shots, please.

If you can, post regular info, camera, film, lens development and print size, etc will also be good to post along with your images.

Cheers







 

You don't see much 16mm on this website. I tend to trust members here though, more so than on Ebay.
 
B&H has 16mm in Tri-x reversal and Kodak 5222-xx on hand, including in 100" rolls, as of a couple days ago.
