110 film storage
      #618372 - 28/02/2008 16:55

I know 110 is thought to be a poor option but I load my own cartridges with Velvia 100 and process in a Jobo processor and using the Pentax auto 110 and Minolta 110 Zoom cameras the results are bordering on amazing when compared to 110 print film processed by a commercial lab.

My problem is storing the film strips. Does anyone know of a supply of 16mm (110 is baisically 16mm film) film storage pages or hanging files?

Gepe still manufacture 2 x 2 slide mounts for 110 so that isn't a problem but I generally keep the fim as strips and scan with a modified holder in my Minolta Scan Daul IV scanner

I make my own envelopes out of high quality, archival grade, bleach free (etc) paper. An A4 sheet cut into 2x A5s with a few folds and 2 staples or Sellotape to secure the ends works fine. A ream of this paper is not expensive (per sheet) and will last a lifetime. I do the same, but larger, for 35mm & 120 negs.

Admittedly these are then just stored in a small 'shoebox' with a bag of silica gel (changed regularly once every ten years ).

I guess the d-i-y envelopes could be slid into a 35mm album style system if necessary .....

We use heavy-duty 35mm sleeving which holds 110 in strips of six quite nicely. They can move around a little bit but it is not problematic. PM if you are interested and would like me to divulge our supplier name but the item code 735H.
