Some information about films


Some of the films mentioned on the site don't exist anymore for the "general public", but there are still some little know manufacturers whose production is quite limited, and whose films can be bought online from their distributors. See my section "Where can I find films?"

118 Film: This film was introduced in 1900, it allows to obtain 8 x 10.5 cm negatives. Strangely, I found it in a 101 Film Camera (9 x 9cm).

135 Film (24 x 36mm): Introduced by Kodak in 1934 under its present form of a disposable cartridge. Previously, Leica and Contax used this film, but in refillable cartridges.

Rapid Cartridge: Agfa system. The cartridge contains 35mm film. The supply spool and the takeup spool are identical, avoiding to rewinding the film at the end. Those cartridges have no axes, the camera push the film in the takeup spool. A metal tab located below the cartridge has a different length according to the sensitivity of the film, which automatically adjusts the camera. This loader existed in 24 views (18x24), or 18 views
(24x24) or 12 views (24x36).

126 Film: Introduced by Kodak in 1963 (Photokina 63), following the observation that many clients using the 135, always asked to their retailer to put the film in the camera, to be sure it would be "hooked" (thank you Alain). The 35mm film (28 x 28) being a rigid cartridge, including the  takeup spool, the supply spool and the film guide, joined together. The holes in the film of 126 cartridge are different from those of 35 mm film (135). An aperture at the back and center of the cartridge allow to read the number of the current view. The cameras using this type of film had to have a transparent window at the back. Kodak stopped to producing the 126 Film in 1999.

110 Film: Introduced by Kodak in 1972 following the logic of the 126 cartridge. This cartridge contains 16mm film (13 x 17).

620 Film (6 x 9 cm): Introduced by Kodak in 1931 (or 32), to replace the 120 Film (which it never disappear, because it always exist). The materials at this time allow to make smaller holes axes. No longer exists today. Find the odd!
