110/16mm Camera Image Quality

[maevery]

Alrightythen!

I put some 16mm Tri-X through my Century Graphic using a 6x9 back. Xpan move over.

I wonder how P A N O it could get with smaller formats.
How easy would it be to roll some super 8 onto there to see?

I would try but the smallest reels I have is for 16mm. Can't practically go smaller.

I kind of want to try this myself but super 8 cartridges are quite pricey to be using just for this.
I think I'll do it anyway in the future though

I know Foma sells their R100 in double-8, may be available in single-8 as well. For this purpose, differs only in sprocket size/spacing.

So itching to get back into using my 110 cams. But in the middle of moving so it will be a few weeks before I have time to take pics again.

Isn't the Viscawide a 16mm panoramic camera?

Oh sure, I'd love to get me one if they didn't cost an arm and a leg.

Ran across this today. Eastman 5222 in a Rollei 110. I loaded a roll of Fuji microfilm in the Rollei recently but haven't had a chance to shoot it yet.

i love my Minolta 16-11, i have been using it about three months.

They are a lot of fun and restaurant owners will give you the evil eye if you pull it out and photograph their menu.

I'll start a thread for subminiture restaurant menu pics!

Cheers and have fun with your Minolta II.

Is the frame on the Rollei A110 the small square in the middle of the viewfinder?

 

[xya]

there is a frame, yes, and it's not so small on mine...

and, as usual, there is more on the photo as there was in the frame. but you are sure that everything in the frame is on the photo.

I thought I'd take a group photo of the slitter and film cassettes once I've completed them (one more cassette to go). Meanwhile, here's the Thingiverse page:
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2103954
No real documentation to speak of, and unless double-edged shaving razor blades fit that bolt pattern, I have no idea what kind of blades the designer had in mind, and the only thing I found at my (USA) hardware store which came close were Stanley carpet blades #11-525 snapped in half lengthwise. Larger bolts are M6 size, and smaller one for hinge is M2.5.

Most ingenious film slitter that I've seen to date was made from nothing more than a matchbox and a couple of hobby knife blades! Wish I could remember where I saw that, think it was old-school Soviet resourcefulness.

I had this 3d printed at my local library & it printed well. It worked with double edge blades with a couple layers of paper here and there to get spacing right. Regards/73 --Terry

I am not rockin' the free world like Huss and Bronson, but I've got some reasonable results with 5222 I loaded in a Rollei E110.

Patrick, what developer did you use? Regards/73 --Terry

 

[WD4AON]

It's ok. Very grainy but it has loads and loads of latitude. I like it most because I can get shortends cheap and I shoot it for pennies a roll.

Cholentpot, Can you still get short ends? Where?? Regards/73 --Terry

New to the forum. And I must say I'm thrilled to be back on a forum with Huss.

Been shooting 16mm motion picture camera film in a Minolta 16II and a Minolta 16 QT for a number of years now, and also 110 in a Canon 110 ED20 and lately a Lomography Diana Baby 110 (not recommended). I've got hundreds of feet of single perf 16mm motion camera film in the freezer that I am slowly working thru with all four of these cameras. I am interested in the Rollei A110, but am wondering if it can use reloaded single perf 16mm film. The advantage of the Canon 110 ED20 is the camera does not need a sprocket hole to catch and cock the shutter for each shot (so I just load the film into a 110 cassette upside down). And neither does the Diana Baby 110. Does the Rollei A110 need that 110 film sprocket hole to cock the shutter?

Thanks,
-Tim

Hey Tim!

Awesome to see you here!

AFAIK the rollei needs perfs. I can't say for sure as I shoot lomo 110 film. I like the camera and its results https://www.subcompactcam.com/110_rollei_a110.htm . there is a good blog about quite some 110 cameras http://quirkyguywithacamera.blogspot.com/2018/04/small-format-size-big-format-results.html he doesn't like it so much.

You should be able to load it just like with the Canon. The Rollei uses the perfs to stop the wind and that is all. The shutter cocks with the push/pull. I've never put movie film in my Rollei. I just use microfilm (no perfs). The only issue with that is the frames are a bit farther apart.

Hope that helps.
