In 2021 I intend to use a different film format each month, staring with the smallest and working my way up the sizes. In January I used the Minox format, for February I'm using the obsolete Disc Film format. The negative size is the same as that of the Minox 8mm x 11mm, but there are 15 negatives on a rotating disc rather than on a roll of film. The discs were last made in 1999, I have a few left, this one expired in 1989, and the results are better than I expected. The camera is a Boots Disc 515, which has a flash and motor drive, unlike most electrical disc cameras which have batteries that can't be accessed or replaced, this one uses standard AA batteries. This is a scan of the whole disc.

I took the camera to the London meetup of the Film Photography Podcast Flickr group. The film is Kodacolor VR, which expired in 1986, I developed it in the Tetenal C41 kit. Considering the age of the film, the results could have been a lot worse!

Taken with the Ricoh 500 GX camera that I first used in week 74 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project. This camera is unusual in having the ability to do double exposures. For this photo I used a piece of black plastic to mask half the lens, then rotated the camera and mask by 180 degrees and re-shot the scene.

Taken with an Ilford Envoy box camera modified, using black paper, to take narrow slit images. One afternoon in August I took the Number 1 Vaporetto (water bus) in Venice from the Bacino San Marco, along the length of the Grand Canal to the Piazzale Roma. The journey of 3.5km takes about an hour. Every few moments I took a photo and advanced the film by 1/8th of a turn, moving to 1/10th of a turn towards the end as the take up spool grew in diameter as the film built up. There were 133 exposures in total. This image shows the entire width of the film.
