New 110 Viewfinder camera

[bsdunek]

The Lomographic Society has just released a new Diana 110 camera with interchangeable lenses. The lenses are a 25mm normal and a 12mm wide angle. I don't see that the viewfinder changes so I guess you're on your own with the 12mm.
This follows their introduction of a couple of fish-eye 110 cameras and both color and B&W film.
While I don't care for their cameras, I like that fact that 110 film is available again - hopefully for a while.

I have a soft spot for 110. Glad to see it out and about again.

I would love for 126 film to come back as well, just to be able to shoot my old Minolta Autopak 700 once again. Don't see it happening, though.

The Fisheye version is incredibly small in person, this Diana version s probably tinier than it looks as well. Fun.

Glad to see the 100 back.

I missed this when it came out. Good thing for me is that they sell 110 format bw film. I have a tank with a 110 reel. Maybe time to take the Pentax Auto 110 out...

I really wish 126 would make a comeback as well. I'd love to be able to shoot square on a smaller format then 120.

I want new 126 film too.

For smaller square pictures, there are two options at the moment.

1) reload an old 126 cart with 35mm film.

2) get a 127 camera like a Yashica 44. 127 film is harder to find too but you can reroll old spools with 46mm stock or 35mm or even trimmed down 120 film.

I wish someone would make new cartridges to fit Minolta 16mm cameras. There are a boatload of those cameras out there. I'm a sucker for the Minolta 16II. Every time I find one I have to buy it. I now have 6 of these little cameras that are still working and 1 that has a broken shutter. They are very simple and almost always work, or can be brought back to life.

The cartridges are less complex than a 110 cartridge and consist of 4 plastic parts and 2 velvet light seals. They are very easy to reload and a 100ft. spool of Eastman Double X single perf B&W negative film will yield 60 rolls and costs about $37 shipped from Eastman.

I have some fine quality 110 cameras and would love to see the return of 110 film (beyond that in my freezer). BUT, before you celebrate, look at the "film" category on the Lomo site. Strangely, no ISO is give for either the BW or color. The BW is apparently essentially defective in that: 1. At least some of it has no paper backing. Without the paper backing, it cannot be used in the typical 110 camera because many of those have a "window" to show the frame number. 2. The last four frames of the BW may have light leaks. Read the notes carefully. That sobers up my celebration.

^ it's common knowledge that the B&W film is ISO 100 (indicated by the 100 on the package, the 100 on the cartridge and the ISO 100 development directions here).

Additionally, with the speed tabs on 110 cartridges, the ISO is not meant to be as much of an issue to the end user.

The ISO for the colour film is 200 - again, on the packaging, on the cartridge, and on their information pages: http://www.lomography.com/about/faq/4228-what-is-lomography-color-tiger-110

Now that they have backing paper developed for their colour film, I'd imagine it would be incorporated into their B&W film at some stage.

Credit where due.

Lomo B&W 110 film also has no window in the back of the cartridge either. So I don't think fogging would be a problem with the windows in the back of 110 cameras. The last four frames may fog due to light coming into the slot of the take up side. Just unload in a changing bag and roll the film in aluminum foil. There is a way around these few bugs, just glad someone is at least trying to bring back a film format.
