110 Film

I was into my local Photo shop yesterday and they tell me they cannot get 110 film anymore! They say it is no longer produced by any manufacturer. Can anyone confirm this? If it is true, it appears my Auto 110 has shot its last photo. Too bad, it was fun using it... pictures we OK, if you didn't w

re:APS Film

Well, it seems that the general thought is that digital will eventually win out over APS and maybe so. However, there will always be those who will never use digital because of the expense & technology. The camera cost is only a small part of ownership... you need a computer to download them to an

APS Film

Just wondering what the general consciences is on APS film format. A few years ago, it was introduced with great fan fare as the next revolution in film. Doesn't seem to have made much of an impact and it is not that easy to get at times. In its defense, I purchased a Canon ELPH Jr. a while back

SF1 or MZ-5N, that is the question!

Well, I have a dilemma. My SF1 has been sent for repair as it would kill batteries in a day or two even when turned off. The local Pentax repair shop had to send it to Pentax Canada in Toronto as they feel it is a circuit problem (sounds expensive to me). Otherwise, it would work fine. The local r

Pentax Auto 110 winder question

I picked up a box full of Pentax Auto 110 stuff today at the closing of a local photo store. It contained a couple of lenses, filters, close up lenses, misc other stuff and about half a dozen winders. There was one winder, that was new in the box that was different from the rest. It looked the sam

Pentax SF1 Question

Hello, I an new to the board and have a question about a recently acquired SF1. It seems to be killing batteries in a few days, even when off. I put new batteries in the camera and left it for a few days and bingo, they are dead. I suspect that they are being drained by the LCD display that seems
