110 Film

110 is a small cartridge film that Kodak introduced in 1972 for pocket cameras like the Pocket Instamatic. The film is 16mm wide and each frame is 13 x 17mm, so photos look grainy and lo-fi. The cartridge drops straight into the camera, with no threading.

Yes. Lomography sells new 110 film in color, black and white and redscale, and we stock it when it is available. Right now we have Lomography Lobster at about $10 a cartridge. Expired 110 film also turns up, but results vary.

Yes. Our Brooklyn lab develops 110 film. Drop it off at 855 Grand Street or mail it in. Current prices for 110 and the other specialty formats are on our film developing page. Many drugstores no longer handle 110, so a film lab is the safe choice.

No. 110 film is 16mm wide and sealed in a plastic cartridge; 35mm film is 35mm wide and comes in a metal canister. Neither fits the other's cameras. A 110 frame is about a quarter of the size of a 35mm frame, so 35mm gives much more detail.

Lomography 110 cartridges have 24 exposures. Count your shots, because most 110 cameras have a simple frame counter, or none. When the roll is done, wind it to the end before you open the camera, then send the whole cartridge to the lab.
