Can you soup 110 film?
Yes, it is possible to soup 110 film. As with any other film format, 110 film negatives can undergo the experimentation process and chemical alterations that come with film souping. However, it should be noted that conducting a film soup with 110 film should be done directly within the developing tank. This means you need to remove the film from its 110 cartridge in the dark, spool it onto a reel, and then bathe it in the soup.
For souping and developing your 110 rolls at home, refer to this tipster on how to craft a fully functioning 110 film developing reel.
Submerging 110 film in a film soup while it is within its canister (like you would normally do with a 35 mm film) will not allow the chemicals to fully penetrate the film and so will not give suitable film soup effects.
