Lomography Orca BW Film
Tuesday, July 3, 2012 at 9:44PM 
I got a few rolls of the new Lomography Orca Black and White 110 film. 110 film is an old Kodak film format that was introduced in 1972. It is a smaller version of Kodak's earlier version of 126 film. An original 126 film cartridge is shown sitting behind the new Lomography 110 film cartridge in the first photo above. The film comes in plastic cartridges, and was designed for ease of use. Loading the film is much easier than 35mm or 120 films. the cartridge is dropped into the camera, wound and ready to go. When done, there is no need to rewind the film. The cartridge is simply removed from the camera and taken to the photo lab.
I have 2 old 110 format cameras I picked up for $2-4 at my local thrift stores. One is a Kodak Ektra 200, and the other is a Tinica miniature 110 format camera. I'll be shooting with both of them over the week, and will process the film myself.

Hello! I have a camera like yours, that little silver kodak that shows in the second picture. Mine is called Kodak Instamatic 192.
Do you know where to buy those films? I currently live in Egypt but my friend lives in New York and she's coming soon. If you could tell me where to find them, would be great. I need the B&W as well as the colors one.
Thank you! :)
Ibrahim.
Hello Ibrahim,
The only place that currently sells new 110 film cartridges is Lomography. Check out their website at http://lomography.com
Have you had luck in getting batteries for your cameras? I have an old kodak instamatic 60 and the batteries it takes are no longer available.
A quick google search turned up a solution for an Instamatic battery replacement technique by flickr user edjpgcom. He or she stacked and taped 3 AG12 batteries together wedged it into the battery compartment so that it connected with the pos- neg contacts. There is a photo on edjpgcom's flickr photo stream.
cool. thanks. I found a similar solution from another flickr user. Will have to check out edjpgcom as well. Hopefully I'll be up and shooting with this one soon. Cheers.
Jamey,
Let me know how it goes. I would be interested in finding out how well this works.
