Pentax 110 SLR

Do any of you have the Pentax 110 SLR? Years ago, I became aware of these and accumulated quite a bit of gear from ebay. This was a tiny SLR body that accepted quite a few lenses and other accessories. I eventually sold most of what I had. Prices have come way down from what they were ten or more years ago.

~Those Pentax 110 lenses work VERY well with an adapter on MFT cameras!! ....

The 70mm lens is one of my favourites. I have it mounted on a Panasonic Lumix GM1 body and often use it with extension tubes. The results are more than acceptable. However the lens is always at full aperture, about f2 because there is no simple adjustment on the lens itself - the 110 camera body did that. The 18mm lens is minute and nearly disappears from view even on the GM1. The zoom 20mm - 40mm lens is a bit of an enigma and certainly not my 'go-to' lens, more of a monster and a question: why would you want to use it at all?
If you have any of these lenses, buy an adapter and try them: great fun if nothing else.

I have a pretty full kit, including a dedicated metal case. My 110 has seen little use; a little battery holder within the camera has failed, as has the battery cover for the winder. Pretty cool gear, however!

I sometimes show people interested in photo gear my 110 next to my 6X7 and get lots of comments.

I'd love to see a photo of that!
I've had a Pentax 6x7, but never been able to compare it to the 110.

I encounter those at flea markets regularly. Although I do still shoot film and occasionally will buy a film camera if it's cheap enough, this particularly model is just not practical for me and I stay away from it.

Don't expect anyone will return 110 film to production.
It’s already back in production. Lomography packages color and black and white. Other sources sell repackaged fresh film on 110 cartridges.

Here’s mine. Both with their dedicated 50mm lenses attached!

Here a shot with lomography black and white using the 50mm “telephoto” lens.
