You can get whatever you want in 16mm/110 size by slitting 35mm -- or 120 (which gives you 3 16mm slits or 4 15.25mm slits)
I thought the appeal of 16mm was the lo-fi images, increased grain etc.
I’ve been following this thread of late and could be tempted, but when I started looking at the cost of film and lack of film development equipment for the DIY’er it has lost some of its appeal.
I'll admit that there is some appeal to using 2475 Recording film in a Minolta 16 MG, but I'm more likely to use Agfapan 25 in my Minolta MG-s -- with it's larger negative size. You wouldn't believe how big an enlargement I can make.
The cost of film is cheap because you cut it yourself and use much less! As to processing gear for 16mm and 110 film, you can get it for about the cost of shipping on EBAY, etc.
I get it now you've mentioned it. I guess for me and film it’s about getting the characteristic film look. I don’t want clean negatives, I want very lo-fi.
Weird hey!

HP5+ expired and pushed a stop in Rodinal in a Minolta 16 II will do it for you. I've done it, it looks like a bowl of rice crispy.
If you like that Rice Crispies look, there are LOTS of options -- and inexpensive.
You have a source for 16mm/110 reels that are affordable? I've been looking for years.

I’ve got expired film alright, but fridge stored. A few years back I asked on here about ageing film and among the replies someone suggested leaving it on a radiator for a few days or more.

Thanks.
I can’t see me cutting in a dark bag, I’d probably lose a finger.No darkroom unfortunately and nowhere to make a darkroom, it’s a smallish house that we have.

I‘d like Rice Crispies grain. Any pointers?
I have the 1/2 frame Pen FT, but the shortest focal length in my kit is the 40/1.4 (also have the 90/f2). I thought of shooting with a wide angle then severely cropping, as I believe Trent Parke did for his series ‘Sand Creatures’. Expired / heat damaged film and Rodinal maybe good - but what dilution for visible grain? Someone on another photo sharing site (Instagram maybe) suggested hot developmen, eg 30C for B&W. Thoughts?
The YANKEE MASTER developing tank has reels that collapse to 16mm/110. I think the YANKEE CLIPPER tanks do too. I don't know if they are interchangeable. There are other options, as well. It's easy to chop down plastic reels, such as Peterson, to 16mm/110 size:

I have at least 4 of these. They're not really a legit option. One roll at a time and a good amount of times the film does not go in normally or gets bunched up. I've now got two 3D printed reels and a stainless I found. I can develop three rolls of 110/16mm at a time. So much better than one at a time.
Push it a stop and use massive agitation.
Thanks
What brew and dilution? I have HC110 and Rodinal to play with.

I thought the appeal was very very compact cameras!
You must be using a different tank than mine. Mine takes two 16mm/110 rolls at a time. I have two tanks -- if I need to do mare than two rolls -- but I can't remember the last time I needed to do that.
The photos 'pop'
I prefer mine that snap and crackle more
