One truly classic 828 was the Bantam Special. I found one in the 1960's.
Soon after, Kodak discontinued 828. I have one roll of Kodachrome in 828.
I heard that 126 film is very close to 828 in size. That has a paper
backing. I think you can find some 126 in off brand.
Thanks for bringing back memories.
