Really appreciate the info from everyone. This has opened a whole new door that I never knew existed (reloading 16mm for 110 use) and I love when that happens. Just to tie a little bow on the discussion, I've scanned the Owner's Manual that came with my camera and it is online here, in case

I don't recall ever taking a 110 photo in my life. While I would love to have a Pentax 110 set-up, I'll have to stumble upon one locally because they just bring too darn much money for me to justify otherwise. However, I did stumble upon a Minolta 110 SLR with case and instruction manual last week

I used to sell those, they were quite impressive little cameras. Good luck finding 110 BW film. The only type that I believe was ever supplied was Verichrome Pan, long discontinued in 110 and any other size film for that matter. There are those who maintain that you can reload properly

I had one of those and my uncle had the Pentax 110 SLR. His was cuter, the Minolta made better photos (and was a lot bigger). It looked like Mr. Spock's Camera to me, was easy to old steady and get very sharp results. The tiny SLR viewfinder and f/4.5 lens made for a focusing challenge but with

My personal experience of reloading the cartridges - 1. It's not that hard, once you learn where to cut the cartridge to open it up without damaging it. Forget about trying to use the film in it first, you need to open them up in daylight. 2. 16mm single perf (1R) is the way to go - still
