This link from Stephen Gandy http://cameraquest.com/pentx110.htm explains the cartridge configuration and ASA selections for the Auto 110. All the cartridges I've been able to obtain in the US have the tab which selects the slower ASA setting in the camera. The slower setting is apparently 80 ASA. That works out pretty good with 200 speed print film, since modern color print film speeds are exaggerated. The decision is with 400 ASA films. The camera will set exposure for 400 ASA if there is no tab on the cartridge. Leave the cartridge as is for a 1 and 1/3 stop overexposure, or slice the tab off with a pocket knife for a 1 stop underexposure. I usually trim off the tab in this case. Only 2 or 3 cartridges a year make it through my Auto 110. Mark Rofini - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
