Hi! Nice video. I got one old 126 film. I shot that full, now willing to brake it (open it) carefully, so I can still develop that film. but I also want to save that cartridge for reloading. Any more good tips or links to some videos ? Thanks! Raido

Hi Raido! Sorry, really no other tips than what is in the video. Maybe just mentioning to slowly rock/ twist the cartridge very slowly to try and minimize damage. If you search online, there may be some other posts about opening the cartridge.

Are gloves necessary/recommended when loading and unloading film? I want to try this but I don’t want to ruin any film after (or before) shooting it. Also, how do you know when you’ve advanced frames fully? Thank you :) very informative video

Hi Markus! I wouldn't worry about gloves. It might be a good idea to wash your hands before loading everything to minimize any oils on your hands from getting on the emulsion, but to me it was never a concern. As far as knowing when it's advanced fully- well, you kind of have to guess. It will take a few times of trial and error to figure out about how many pictures you can get out of whatever length of film you load in. Hope that helps!

Hi, I found a Kodak Instamatic 56x and I've got the 126 film so I found your video very clear and helpful for the next time, when I'll recharge it. But I'm not a pro photographer and I'm gonna ask you something, probably stupid: Can You use the rest of the 35mm film for the next bunch of photos or is completely useless? Thanks, btw!

Hi Marcello! Sure, if you only remove a little bit from the film canister, and there is still fill rolled up inside you can still shoot that in a 35mm. Hope this helps!

Hey there. I used this DIY cartridge in a video review on a Kodak Instamatic. About 5 minutes into the video I walk around and shoot/ show the results: kzread.info/dash/bejne/daNn1rewabjfpLA.html

Do you know any way to use 35mm in 110mm? Or some way to shot in a 110mm camera? tks!

Hi Catarina! I've never done it, but I'd imagine you could use the same techniques as shown here with 126, except that you would have to cut down the 35mm to 110 size, and have an empty cartridge. If you do try it please let me know how it turns out, I am curious to know! 🙂

I’ve got this Kodak automatic which requires an 126 film.. how can I make it ? Should I get an adapter ?

@filmismorefun

Hi! To make an adapter you need a 126 cartridge. The best place to find one is on eBay. :)

is it safe to use a red light headlamp when handling film in the dark?

@filmismorefun

2 ай бұрын

No, because film is also sensitive to red light. It takes a little prep to do everything in complete darkness, but after a few practice runs it should go pretty smooth.

Does it have to be in a special dark room

@filmismorefun

No, not at all. Any room that is completely dark will work. A large closet, or a room with no windows could work. 🙂

I know I’m late but if your doing it in a room that has doors that are an 1” or two off the ground stuff towels or something in between the floor and the door so you don’t have any light leaks on film. If you do this a lot you could invest in a darkroom bag. They are about $30-$35 but they aren’t necessary if you have a room that you can black out.
