Asahi Pentax Auto 110, 110 SLR, results

Full frame image, the high contrast results from the use of 200ASA film in a camera calibrated for 80ASA, unfortunately no longer available.

A selected enlargement from the picture at left. Fortunately modern print film has considerable latitude, so a print can be obtained despite the poor calibration.

Overexposure tends to increase film grain, however this becomes an advantage sometimes and consequently the Pentax 110 enjoys some support amongst those looking for a graphic result. This is the tip of the monument at Farley Mount in Hampshire, UK.

Three images taken with some very time expired 100ASA film acquired off of ebay. Above is the first decent cup of tea awaiting consumption after riding a motorcycle around the famed Thai Golden Triangle at the end of 2005, it was such a monumentous event it needed to be recorded for posterity. Above right, and somewhat closer to my own locale, are these pumpkins just harvested in September 2006. At right is part of the famous Siamese capital at Ayutthaya , taken in January 2006 .

Raphael, our cat, finds himself in front of the lens fairly often. He is deeply opposed to this and normally saunters off as soon as a camera leaves the display case. However at 17 years old and diabetic his days are numbered and so any excuse to catch him off guard is eagerly exploited. Pentax 110s will still produce very nice results, there is no reason not to use one whilst it is still possible to get film and processing.
