126
Instamatic film
|
|
For use in any "Instamatic"
format camera (but not the 110 Pocket Instamatic) — and a wonderful way to make a 24-exposure pinhole
camera.

|
Processing is available for this
film. Click here. |
Your
126 Instamatic camera does not have to end its days in disgrace, covered
in dust on a shelf.
Put it back to work with fresh Solaris FG200-24 126 film
from Ferrania. It's a much better film than the Kodacolor X your
grandma used in 1965.

|
127 roll film
|
|
The size 127 film was introduced in 1912, and it's still
available from Frugal Photographer.

Note: you can process 127 film at home,
including color film, with our compact developing tank, which has a
setting for 127 film. Click here.

Bluefire Murano 160
an excellent ISO 160 color print film
in 127 size, currently manufactured in Canada.
Processing is available for this film. Click here.
|
Although Kodak
stopped making 127 in 1995, with most of the rest of the industry
following suit almost immediately, 127 is once again being made, in
Canada, for shipment worldwide.
|
|
110
Pocket Instamatic film
|
|
For use in any "Pocket
Instamatic" camera.

|
Processing is available for this film. Click here.
|
By all
measures, 110 has been a hugely successful film format, but after more
than a third of a century, it's nearing the end of its life, and you may not be able to find
it locally any more. Have no fear. We are now stocking excellent quality
ISO 200 110 films by Fuji and Ferrania.

120 roll film
|
|

|
Processing is available for this film. Click here.
|
Very
good black and white roll film in 120 size, specially purchased in
factory lot quantities.
Priced for students (and for all photographers
who are just plain frugal).

Minox
film and supplies
|
|

The amazing Minox B
We are proud to be an authorized Minox
distributor. |

We recommend Blue
Moon in Portland, Oregon, as an excellent processor of Minox film
|
If you own a
Minox 8x11 "spy" camera (or a Yashica Atoron), you should be
using it.
These are amazing
machines that can produce photographs of extraordinary quality, despite
being small enough to hide in a candy bar wrapper. We're
proud to be authorized Minox dealers and offer these hard-to-find
factory films and supplies to Minographers worldwide.

traditional camera stores move inexorably to digital, fewer and fewer

darkrooms. That's why we're here — to supply you with hard-to-find
photo goods.

With this tank, you can process roll film at home, color or black and
white, including 35mm, 126, 120, 620, and 127. Safe for use with all films, including infrared. |
