126 Film

[-Oy-]

Hi all

Just been given this lovely Minolta Autopak 700.



Sooooo.... 126 film. I've seen Youtube vids about loading 126 canisters with 35mm film and it looks a right royal pain in the backside.

I've also seen expired 126 going on eBay for daft money.

Anyone tried this with an empty? Any advice on how to get hold of an empty?

Is it worth it or shall I just let it sit looking pretty on the shelf?

Dépends how much of a want you have to use thé camera.

How to get an empty......borrow, grovel, steal or better still, buy an old cartridge, shoot thé film then get frustrated reloading it.......alternatively sit the camera on a shelf and imagine how cool it could be to actually give it a new life taking snapshots.

I could sell you an unexposed 126 cartridge........say 40 quid plus postage !!
