Okay, now I need to get a camera roll of 16 mm Vision3.
Getting 16mm short ends or recans is impossible these days.
BH has new package 100 foot rolls of 16 mm for $60 to $70. Single perf works great in Minolta, Kiev, and Yashica 16 mm cameras, and single perf is what a Rollei or Edixa wants.
I have to work myself up to spending that.
I usually shoot microfilm through this camera and have a piece of dark exposed film over the sensor to trick it. I figured that Tri-X wouldn't need the extra exposure. The photos came out under exposed. Next time I'll fool the meter again.
The 60 should expose for ISO 100 all the time -- there were no 400 cartridges in that generation and the camera doesn't have a speed sensor. Your meter may need adjustment...
Dingo fence?
Does the I60 work with unperfed film cholenpot? My Rollei E110 does but the spacing is pretty large.
Which reminds me that I have a Rollei. Totally forgot about it. I should get it out from whatever hiding place it is in and shoot a roll.
This is Fuji HR developed with Rodinal.

The Kodak 60 works fine with non-perf. I'm using my A110 with 16mm now but I made sure to tape down the feeler pin. It seems to work, I'll really only know after the dev though.
How much spacing does the K60 put between frames?
You'll be fine with the Rollei if the A110 works the same as the E110. It does advance the film every time you operate the mechanism and it does have quite a bit of space between frames. From memory it is about 1/2 to 3/4 a frame's worth. On the upside, the frame is quite a bit larger but it is also offset compared to the viewfinder, and the vignetting is fairly pronounced. It works better with thicker film. The thin microfilm I've put through it always has one corner distorted. The feeler pushes pretty heavily on the film. I never got any really sharp images on the thin microfilm. I did pull the springs on the back out more to get more tension on the cassette. That seemed to help a bit.
About a half-frame worth between frames. I always double advance with it. It doesn't bother me, 16mm film is cheap enough.

With the feeler pin taped down you need to take the shot if you open the camera or you lose the shot, right?
Do you have any advice on the reloading of the 110 cassettes? I'm guessing there are probably no reloadable ones available, so you carefully open the new ones and tape them back together after reloading?
Good to know.
Exactly on the cheap. I wouldn't cut down 35mm for the Rollei just because of the waste, but 16mm microfilm is so cheap I don't care.
I am glad this thread popped back up. I pretty much forgot about 16mm. I had completely sealed up all the light leaks on the Rollei then never used it after. I also picked up a roll of Agfa microfilm more than a year ago, but I haven't even cracked the seal on it. I should get back into it.
Been a while since I shot 110. So I loaded up my Rollei A110. Finished that in about 30 mins! It’s funny how when I use a 110 camera EVERYTHING looks interesting!
Good to know.

You should try a Minox! That is like interesting on steroids. Lol. I can tear through a Minox roll in no time. It is between like a 110 camera and shooting with a movie camera. I need to do that one of these days too.
And it doesn't have to be a Minox. There are plenty of cameras that use the Minox cassettes -- with all sorts of variations:
