This is for the Pentax Auto 110. The A110 is by Rollei. I had three, down to my last functioning one.
I owned two Pentax Auto 110’s over the years, not including the one I gave my girlfriend and always called them A110s. Never owned, or even saw, a Rollei.
Learn something new everyday. Really nice images for such an old roll of film.
Turns out there were a total of four Auto 110. I owned two when I was living back east, there was the one I gave to my girlfriend at the time and my wife just reminded me I also bought one for her. Thanks for the comparison.
Meanwhile, you get to photograph classic cars and women carrying birds in a backpack, I get weeds and construction debris…
Headed east down into the Coronation Gulf, Nunavut. Along the way we pass quite a few NWS (North Warning System) sites, which many of were converted from former DEW (Distant Early Warning) Lines Sites. The first image is of Edinburgh Island and it's NWS Site.

Pretty good colour for 23 years expired. I need to fire up one of my 110 cameras!
I have quite a lot of Superia in my freezer. I bought it in bulk from KEH when they were blowing it out a couple of years ago.
The problem is, it costs the same as developing 35mm C41, but w 35mm you get 36 exp. And my Ricoh FF1 cameras are almost as small as my 110 cameras!
But there is something so much fun about shooting 110, as your expectations are low and yet you can get some really nice results.
It is annoying though that 23 year old Superia is better than fresh Lomo Tiger.

That would be annoying.
What do you think of the Lomo Orca B&W? I think that's the one & only 110 roll I have in the freezer.
I noticed they have Metropolis in 110 now.... Or maybe they always did and I'm behind the times
These were actually poor scans. Usually I use a 60 2.8G lens that AFs with my Z7 - and that is able to 1:1 with 35 film, so no issues.
But with 110 film, 1:1 is smaller than I'd like so this time I used a 60 2.8 D lens with close up tubes. This is because I cannot use close up tubes with a G lens on the Z7 as it removes the ability to set aperture. The D lens has a mechanical aperture ring.
So why are they poor scans? With the G lens I use AF for every scan which takes a mili second to nail focus. With the D lens - no AF as NIkon's FTZ adapter only allows AF with G lenses. So I have to focus manually wide open, then stop down to shooting aperture. I got lazy and did not refocus/check focus for each scan - did it once per strip thinking that because I was using f11, it would be ok. Welllll - no. A bunch are blurry if you look close, whiel the negs are fine.
Bottom line - either use the G lens and be happy that I did not use the full rez of the Z7 sensor, or use the D lens and focus for each scan.

Orca is a v nice B&W film - cool to be able to use that in 110 format. It's most prob some Orwo emulsion. They've had Metropolis in 110 since they first released Metropolis. Same look as in the 35 and 120 versions. Fun too.
The one thing... Lomo forever has used too thin backing paper with Lomo Tiger and Orca. So you can get pin point (sometimes bigger) light leaks through it. If you cover your film window panel on your camera, no issues. I have not noticed this with other Lomo 110 films.
To make myself feel better, I call them Spirit Spheres when they appear...
