It would be cool of kodak could bring this film back

i know these videos are kind of old but they've been real helpful for me, a couple notches below the beginner's rung, trying to learn about my family's older film cameras and how i could still use them. so thanks!

#1 equipment recommendation: Use a BLUNT tip scissors to cut/trim the 35mm film. Blunt tip scissors will be one less problem in the changing bag.

One thing I recommend when loading the Fakmatic is to use black gaffer tape and tape along the entire seam where the two halves come apart this way you will not have to tape up the camera for light leaks. It will also make your camera look sleeker. :)

In the Kodak Instamatic 100, what you need to do when winding 135 with it's many sprocket holes, press and hold the shutter button half way down and there will be no jamming when you advance the film.

Wow. I used to love shooting my Kodak 100 126. The square format was nice. 126 was far better than the later toys with the smaller film. Now I shoot 11X14" X-Ray film.

Thank you for this! I jsut found a Kodak X15 at Goodwill that is in perfect condition, so this will be perfect!

How come nobody has ever thought of actually attempting to manufacture 126 film? Possibly 120 could be used as the basis. Cut it down to 126 size and punch the 126 sprocket holes. Then 3D print the plastic cartridge. It sounds like an easy thing on paper.

Good to know, I maybe purchasing a Kodak instamatic X-35F.

I purchased one of these. Still haven't mastered the process... Yet. I'm watching this video. I'll know where I am going wrong.

[vindilenify]

Yes!! Thanks for super good instructions & entertaining clip❣️
😄🇸🇪

I have a Kodak Instamatic 500 which has a Schneider 28mm f/2.8 lens. I may try this as I have a decent camera to use it in.

[neilflack]

Do you have any other examples of the exposures running into each other? That’s something that I think could be great for a project of sorts

[nathansnell]

Whew! Getting it back in the original canister did not work out for me. Good luck with that in the dark.

[oaknblur]

Thanks for your creativity!
Will it work on Canon Canomatic M70?

[anton]

Can you not spoil the film in a darkroom? I used to process B&W I’m my home darkroom with a low voltage red globe!

[EverythingRetro]

Also quick question when I do the advance trick with the 104 do I push the advance lever 3 times or 2 between exposures, Because I am not sure if it is possible to get a full 20 exposures out of it.

[Subgunman]

I have done so many loads of film reels in the past I don’t have any issues with messing things up. Anyone make Black and White film still? Bummer I have the 101.

[xedalpha]

Great little innovation, just wish Kodak or lomography would bring it back

[felicityerne]

Would it be okay to do this in a room but with a light covered with a scarf? so it's not super dark 😂 I don't think I'll be able to this haha
