Pentax Auto 110 - A Miniature Beauty

A small rant about how awesome this little beauty is and also a plea to Lomography to make 110 colour slide film *bats eyelids*

On Saturday I received a parcel from an eBay seller all the way down in London… inside was this little beauty..

(I will have personal photos soon and also photos taken with the camera, obviously!)

It’s just fabulous, it’s so tiny it fits in the palm of my hand. Yet it is a proper little SLR camera. With three lenses available (I only have one and a close up attachment at the moment) and a variety of other accessories (I have the flash on the way too, it’s as big, if not bigger, than the camera itself!)

Like I say, I will have some photos taken with this little darling once my film arrives from Lomography/eBay. And Lomo guys and gals, please PLEASE could we have some colour and/or colour slide 110 film?!?!

Can’t wait to test this camera out. From what I’ve seen on Flickr, it’s a very promising little camera.

One very happy Dolly.

    I buy expired 110 colour film on ebay :) For a little tiny Kodak pocket cam I have. Because my home was Lomo home of the week last week I got 20 Piggies. I didn't care until I discovered it allowed me to buy the baby fisheye for 30 euros instead of 50. So I went for the commercial trap and ordered the baby fish eye. Now I really stop my search for new camera's I swear.

    @gauthierdumonde and @asharnanae Ebay is wonderful for everything : ) I get everything from there, ha ha. That's where I got my Pentax Auto 110 and there's a few of them about on there too : )
    I really like how mini the Baby Fish Eye is, but I'm not personally that keen on the fisheye effect. So I'm swaying as to whether I really want (or need) to buy that one, ha.
    Oh if only I could win the lottery and one of each camera *sigh*
    Dolly.

    Actually I am not keen on fisheye too. I just wanted to see my daughter with that little cam in her hands. Silly I know.
