The film is too large for 110, I think it could be APS film (Kodak Advanced Photo System) that was introduced in 1996.

Here’s a link to Kodak’s ID numbers, look up the number on the side of the film and let us know what you have.

APS is 24mm wide. Those shown are 110 negatives. And there actually were a couple of good 110s. Pentax made a 110 SLR with interchangeable lenses. There was another quality 110 that looked like the more typical 110s but I can’t remember who made it.

That was Minolta.

And yes, those are 110 negs.

I don't think I would even *try* to identify the film, oh, maybe for curiosity, but only after I've scanned 'em in with my nice Epson scanner, loaded them into Lightroom, and then up to Photoshop. *Then* the software will tell me exactly what I'm working with, size-wize...of course, maybe I've already made the decision, looking at the scan preview, to junk the project altogether...lol...

There was a very nice, extremely well made Pentax 110-film SLR.

Scan then on any flatbed scanner. Invert the colors in any photo editor and then enlarge them a bit to see if they are worth printing. 110 film was packed into cartridges for inexpensive Kodak point and shoots.

Good luck.


Just for the record Minolta also had a line of fairly decent 110 point and shoot cameras, their Autopak line.

Here are some 110 negatives - I know because I still have the {Vivitar} camera somewhere. Is this the type of film we started with??

I was here yesterday, and all was calm. I came back today, and chaos reined. If this kind of question arises in the future, I would suggest that the OP be sent to the Experts Section, instead of guesses from people who have never had that type of camera.



added: scratches are really bad on these. I scanned one negative on my Epson flatbed scanner, and I could see myself spending the rest of my life fixing them. I was fairly sure my Nikon LS-2000 would do a much better job, but it couldn't 'focus' on these narrow strips. I thought of putting cardboard strips next to them; I had encountered a guy selling a professional holder for $100. Then I remembered I had a set of 110 slides, .... so I {don't tell anyone!} cut the strips apart {I wouldn't use them in their intended context again} and one-by-one inserted them into a slide frame, which the LS-2000 was fine with. These two strips are about all I haven't "processed" yet.

It's 110 film. I think any photo finisher should be able to print your negatives. You may be able to scan them to get more of an idea what the photos are of, to help decide which to print.

Good luck.


Agreed. Photo scanners will make the negative images into positives.

This 110 film 13x17mm neg size.
The single hole on the leader was used by film processors tn hang the film on for processing in 'dip and dunk' processor like Refrema and Focus and a vast number of others. Kodak Labs in Australia had film splicers that used it to align a splice between films/ The films were processed in a continuous strip, loaded on to a Kodak 2620 or 2610 printer and printed an about 3000 prints an hour.
The film stock was 16mm and coated on the same film base.
An improved, higher definition emulsion was developed for this film before it was released.
