The Pan Focus lens was factory set at the hyperfocal distance, and basically turned your 110SLR into a reflex point and shoot. There was no focusing mechanism in it at all. They were introduced later on in the life of the 110 system and are relatively rare. They are a collectors item, but of little practical use for a shooter.
I've bought up a lot of 110 film on Ebay in a couple of big batches. The intention is to reload them with 16mm Tri-X and Plus-X movie film. If you want to stock up now seems to be the time to do it. Some was bought in the US and the rest in the UK and the unit price was around $1 - $1.50. Some was Fuji, the rest is Konica. I think the only people still manufacturing it is Ferrania in Italy. Unfortunately it will be a few more months until my new darkroom is completed so the project is on hold.
