110 film is still out there?! Didn’t know that there were reels small enough for that size film. Kind of makes me wish I still had my Pentax Auto 110 Super kit.
Yup, LOMO makes it - bless their hearts for keeping these cameras alive - and it is sold at my local Samys as well as B&H, Adorama etc etc.
It was kinda surreal using a DSLR with macro lens, extension tubes and a copy stand to make a scan of the tiny 110 frame! But fun.

Awesome! My mind is still blown that 110 film is still around. Are you developing it yourself?
Havent been around much. Lightroom is acting REAL strange for me. It won't add new scans into my archives. I have set it up on a new Mac, using an external hard drive. Older photos add just fine but new ones dont. Really disappointing as I cannot find any solution. A lot of time wasted on this.

I've been going through some very old slides from my collection, the oldest recently scanned/copied was shot on 13 Sep 1981, to be precise!
I've been mainly using my old slide-copier now with my Pentax K-1 and the results from that compared with my Minolta Scan Dual IV are quite different in terms of colour and focus, and sadly scratch/dust detection.
The Scan Dual IV gives me better focus I believe, but much more work therefore in cloning out dust and scratches.
I've just won an auction for a Nikon Coolscan V (LS-50) and I'm looking forward to checking out that scanner's extra performance. I haven't given up on DSLR copying either and plan to investigate that further in due course, using a suitable macro lens and slide holder framework.
Of course, in scanning such old slides I realise that my technique or the basic resolution of the equipment has often been found lacking!
Here are some of the recent scans (Scan Dual IV), or DSLR copies if so noted:
Two cherry blossom shots, one with Nikon F80, Nikkor 28-80mm kit lens, Fuji C200 film and Pakon F135 scanner, the second with Zeiss Ikon folding 9x6cm camera, Konica Minolta Centuria 400Pro at ISO200, Nikon Coolscan 9000ED
