Is 110 Film Gone Or Going?

I only ask this because I own a Pentax Auto 110 and I
can't find the Kodak 110 film at the Target store where I used
to buy it. ( Three 24 exposure cartridges for $6.00 )

If it has not been discontinued, it probably will be soon. Unfortunately, when
the consumer market shifts, manufacturers find it very un-profitable to
continue to produce an item. If you find a supply, you might want to buy it,
and freeze what you don't use immediately. Thaw the film, before you load it,
but it will keep for quite a period this way. You may notice some degredation
over the years, but if you monitor it, you should be able to make some
adjustments - providing that your camera offers that. It's tough to say
goodbye to an old friend, but sometimes you need to retire older equipment to
the bookshelf for display.

You might also have luck on Google for a supplier, who has some in bulk. Who
knows if the price will go up, or down?

Might be time to invest in some modern equipment?

 

Truly. 110 film was discontinued in 1929.

 

I don't know where you live but Fuji 110 film is really easy to find in
Canada.

Missed the smiley, eh?

110 film from 1898 to 1929 was a 4x5 roll format.

 

funny timing for this thread, I was just saying to my wife that the
local grocery store (which used to have an EXTENSIVE film selection)
now has the disposable cameras, one type of Polaroid film, and a few
types of 35mm film, and that's it.

B&H shows Kodak GC 110-24, ISO 400,in stock. A bit higher than the
old Target price, $2.99 each, but it looks like you can still get it.

If your camera still works well and has no other problems besides film
availability, you might buy a bunch and freeze it.

BTW, Thats a neat little camera, almost bought one myself amny years
ago. I got talked into an Oly OM-1 instead.....

Good luck.

Thank's to all that responded to my post regarding 110 film
availability. That little Pentax SLR is more of a conversation piece
firstly to it's ability to take great pictures with it's 2.8 lenses.

Will buy my 110 film at Walmart now for as long as they carry it.
But with the Target price that I use to pay, and the $2.85 Fuji
processing at Walmart, the total picture/4x5 print price cost me
about 20 cents each.

Thank's Bob S for the pointer to B&H. And to KC for informing
me that Canada has plenty of it. I will pick some up when I travel
there to get my flu shot this year.
