There was such a thing as slide film in 126 format. I wouldn't recommend it for the Instamatics, though: those cameras were fixed shutter speed and aperture so exposure would be... problematic ;-) But there *were* some fairly advanced cameras made for 120 film for a while. The late, great Galen Rowell got his start shooting Kodachrome in a 126 camera. The slides were square and slightly smaller in height than the 24mm of standard 35mm film. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
