This year I'm using a different film format each month, starting with the smallest and working my way up through the sizes. The format for July is the 126 (or Instamatic) cartridge which was introduced in 1963. It was made for the Kodak Instamatic range of cameras, and was prduced until around 2008. The format gave 28mm x 28mm square negatives and the vast majority of cameras made to use it were very simple and basic. This was taken using one of the handful of more sophisticated 126 cameras, the Zeiss Ikon Contaflex 126 SLR. The only film available now is long expired, this is Fujicolor Super HR ISO 100 which expired in 1991. I have several of these cartridges, and the quality is dire, the film has lost a lot of senstivity, and even with 5 stops of over-exposure the negatives are almost blank. This is the best result I could get by manipulating the scans.
