Where do you get it processed so quickly?
It's so easy to burn through 110 film! I loaded a cartridge and used it up in 30 mins. What I would normally ignore with a serious camera I just snap away with 110. Because -oh hey that looks fun!
And it really helps if u have something like a Pentax Auto110 or Rollei A110 that gives sweet results.

Had another go with the Minolta 16 Mk II, this time with some 500T. I did a single extra advance between exposures which led to inconsistent frame spacing, but its a nice effect if you know its there.

I'm curious to know what some folks know from experience the image quality from some specific 110/16mm cameras. Canon 110ED, Minolta 110 Zoom, Rollei A110, Minolta 16 II, and Mamiya 16 Automatic.
I shot with the Minolta 16 II, and I'm not sure it's my scanner film holder, but I wasn't too impressed. Really cool little camera and actually fun to shoot--not fun to load film into! I have the Canon and Minolta 110 cameras and still need to finish the film in them before I can develop, scan and review.
Plants shots are incredible!
How do you overcome the "perforation problem" of the Minolta 110 SLR MKII? The camera need the 110 perforation to operate.
Blame the Vision3.... you could take photos of mummified dog turds and still get extremely characteristic, if not amazing, images.
Load single perf 16mm such that the sprockets engage the feeler mechanism at the bottom of the film gate. Take an exposure, advance the film, cover the lens, fire the shutter, advance the film again. Ready for another exposure. Two 'blank' advances are needed to guarantee a clean non-overlapped frame, as described in my posts above.
This is the same technique you'd have to apply to a 126 camera like a Rollei A26 reloaded with regular 35mm film.

The 500T i shoot in 35mm doesn't look that good...
That's one approach. another is to "notch" the 110 cassette so that the camera doesn't know that a cassette is loaded:
"The sensor on the Mark II camera is in the back of the right well (as viewed from the camera back). This requires a notch to be made in the outside of the supply compartment of the cartridge, which will cause the cartridge to be no longer "light tight". So the camera would have to be loaded/unloaded in the dark at the same time the cartridge was re-loaded with fresh film. The camera's "exposure window" should also be taped over with black tape."
This avoids the two blanks and works with any 16mm film.
Hmmm... oughta troubleshoot. I'm using unexpired/fresh film developed in Kodak's formula for ECN-2. Results in 35mm (or half-frame) are similarly cinematic.
Have you actually tried this or are you just copy pasting something you found on the internet? 'Notching' the supply side to trick the Mk II into thinking there is no cassette present also disables the film advance mechanism. Yes, the shutter cocks but you won't be able to advance your film. Works fine for 'single' frame loads though.
Maybe that 3rd party is confusing the Mk II and the original model.
I think as some people have said, especially as this kind of falls under the heading of "Getting good photos from crappy equipment/specs for the sake of it", the key is using your technique to the max - tripod or monopod if you need it, faster film if you can get it (not always easy with 110), dead accurate focussing and so on. I used 110 back when it was for real and got some really outstanding results compared to my later 35mm kit, so its definitely possible.

My crappy old Steky doesn't have a tripod socket... so much for taking real pictures

A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, my son received a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 110 camera for his birthday. The results were not, how shall I say, cowabunga.
That's a nice looking kit.
