Asahi Pentax Auto 110 and Lomography Orca

Posted by websitesarelovely on Sunday, 7 October 2012





















Over Summer I tried out the tiny Asahi Pentax Auto 110, using the new Lomography Orca (Black & White) film. I took it out in the Peak District and over to Croatia, so lighting shouldn't have been a problem. The results weren't what I was expecting - I thought they would come out with much crisper images, better contrast and richer all around, but they came back really grainy and quite ghostly.

At the same time as getting these processed, I also got some 110 films developed that I had found in the attic at my parents house. One film was 23 years old, and the other was closer to 26 years old - both of which gave me similar results to the new Lomography film!

I am not disappointed, but it's difficult to trace where the problem has arisen - whether it's the film, camera or the photographer. If anyone else has had similar results with the Orca film, then please let me know - I would love to see your photographs.
