busted. So I bought this little 4-dollar Chinese plastic camera off eBay, →[More:]which uses 110 cartridge film, and after taking one roll of film with it I am crazy about it. The negatives look like a little roll of trading stamps and are a pain to scan, but the results are lo-fi and fun.

I got a very similar camera off freecycle but haven't used it yet. What sort of film did you get, and where?

cool photostream - I added you

Thanks chuck! I bought the film off eBay, too... my camera shop guy doesn't sell 110 (even though he loves other kinds of unusual cameras, and is big on Holgas and 120 film), but he does process it, at least.

The film I got is Konica 200 speed film. I like these pics so much, I'd love to find a 400 speed film that I could use indoors.

Me likee! Nice pictures, both on the part of the camera and the photographer.

That's a great picture and a groovy littler camera. I used to have a fabulous little 110 camera, I think it was a Pentax. The shutter made this kick-ass SLR sound. I traded it in for an Olympus Trip and then wished I hadn't.
