Fuji Superia 200 110-24
Fuji stopped manufacturing 110 outside Japan in about 2003 and discontinued
distribution of 110 in North
America in 2004. Fresh Fuji 110 was made in Japan until 2009, where the
last stocks are now being sold out. This is an excellent ISO 200 film with
superb colors and very fine grain. It's not Fuji's latest technology,
but it's the next most recent, and that's not a bad thing.
We offer this film in single-roll foil packs taken from bulk boxes, most rolls dated
mid-2009. Store them in your refrigerator or freezer, which
slows the natural rate of deterioration. Click here

Private-label 110 films
No product photos yet — coming soon!
Agfa and Konica manufactured these 110 films until about 2002, and
sold them under their own well-known brand names, as well as supplying them to
retailers as private-label house-brand films. Most, but not all, are labeled "York" or "Quality." They are excellent
films from first-rate manufacturers.
The "process before" dates
are unknown, so we have tested them and can verify that the colors and contrast
are still excellent (unless noted otherwise). We recommend you store them cold or frozen, and they will
give perfect results for several more years.

| About 110 "Pocket
Instamatic" film
Photographers who use and
enjoy their 110 cameras are becoming increasingly frustrated as
virtually no retail outlets keep 110 film in stock (one exception is
Blue Moon Camera, in Portland, Oregon). 110 black and white films,
and slide films, have been gone for decades. The only 110 that is found
any more in supermarkets or drugstores is either long-outdated ISO 200
"house brand" films, or Kodak 110.
Kodak's 110 is very good film, but there
is an issue related to how it's packaged.
When 110 was introduced (1972), the
engineering specification was that camera manufacturers would have the
option of making two-speed cameras, that could automatically set
themselves for either high-speed or low-speed 110 films, without manual
adjustment by the photographer.
With low-speed films, a ridge, or tab, at
the end of the 110
cartridge would depress a lever in the camera body. With high-speed
films, the ridge would be too short to depress the lever. This way, the camera
could "sense" whether the film was high speed or low speed,
and it could automatically set itself. Most relatively
sophisticated 110 cameras, the ones with good lenses, look for the ridge
to set shutter speed.
But exactly what constitutes "high speed"
and "low speed" was never specified. The American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) did, in fact, publish a
specification for exactly which tab length keyed exactly which film
speed, but no manufacturer, either of cameras or films, appears to have
implemented it.
At the time, it made no difference --
high speed films were ISO 200 or 400, and low speed was anything from ISO 125
down to 64. In snapshot photography, this kind of latitude is considered
good enough.
The problem is that, today, Kodak's 110
is an ISO 400 speed film packed in a ridged cartridge that the camera
"senses" as low speed. The result is ISO 400 film exposed as
though it were ISO 100 or ISO 64. This is gross overexposure.
Casual users might not care, but
careful photographers usually find their Kodak 110 photos are
unacceptably overexposed, with poor color matching and
excessive grain.
That leaves you with two options: either
manually trim off the tab on your Kodak 110 cartridge, so your camera treats
it like high speed film, or stick with ISO 200 films.
For the benefit of photographers who
no longer have convenient local access to 110 films, we continue
offering ISO 200 color films from the last warehouse stocks of major
manufacturers like Agfa, Konica, Ferrania, and Fuji. These films are sealed in a foil-paper laminate for
protection against light, dust, and humidity. Stored cold, they last for
years. Stored frozen, they last for decades.

Superb detail! Photographed on Fuji 110
film, using a Pentax 110 SLR with 70mm lens. Modern 110 films are of
much higher quality than the original 110s from the 1970's. They give
very good images with high resolution, excellent granular structure, and
superior color rendition. So rescue that 110 camera from its lonely
drawer, and put its excellent lens to work.
