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 and in February I used the obsolete Disc Film format. For March I'm using 16mm film, I have three working 16mm film cameras, they each make slightly different sized images on the negative. The Mikroma is unusual for a 16mm camera in that it looks like a scaled down 35mm model, whereas most adopt a horizontal format for the camera body. It's a very fiddly camera to load and used, and it soon became clear that all was not well, the film advance was stiff, and then suddenly freed up suggesting that something had broken in the camera. I managed a few slightly overlapping shots before giving up and moving the film to another camera. The film is Kodak Portra 160, processed in the Tetenal C41 kit.
