Do let us know/post the results of how the film is - I'm intrigued by it, and usually Lomo stuff doesn't really perk my interest.
i think you will have to send it to LOMO, unless you get some 110 spirals etc from Fleabay
Mr Cad in Croydon did have some, I picked one up from them last year.
And there's one on ebay about to finish http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DURST-SPIRAL-FILM-REEL-110-POCKET-/170843569306?pt=UK_Photography_DarkroomSupplies_SM&hash=item27c711fc9a#ht_500wt_1345
Here's a link to the dev times for the orca film:

Presumably this the one that Samantha mentions as Ilfosol 3 isn't listed.....
I took the plunge and received my cartridges today.......Got several 110s to use them in including a "projector style"" (lol there is some truth in that!) minolta and a pentax....I think the pentax is going to see the first roll.....
EDIT: Sorry samantha I didn't notice the link you posted...Duh! lol
As it is there are differences in time between the two charts, for rodinal 1:50 one chart states 8 mins, the other 9 mins ..... I notice Ilfosol 3 is now mentioned......At least the charts give us a starting point!
Oh great it's been updated! Haven't been back to check as my 110 reel still hasn't arrived yet!
Looking forward to see your stuff, please post em up once you get some results we can experiment together exciting lol XD
Good weather today, I might just do another roll too!
I am very very tempted... just a shame I can't seem to source a reasonably priced 110 reel at the moment.
Thanks for the info link Asha - even more tempting! Just need to find a Paterson reel to sacrifice...
Unfortunately it'll probably shoot up, the prices of developing equipment have shot up over the last few months. I'll keep an eye on eBay if I go down this route though. The other thing that concerns me is how there is no backing paper so you never know if you are at the end of the roll yet or not (I shoot very sporadically).
I haven't yet loaded any of the film but from what i understand it's simply a matter of marking somewhere what exposure number you have got to by chalking them up on a piece of paper.....tbh for me that won't prove a big prob as i generally note details of each shot i take, more for reference to see what settings, lighting etc I used and how I could possibly improve next time.
Perhaps you could simply tape a piece of paper to the base of the camera? .....don't forget to carry a pen/pencil though!
Ah also I was talking to some friends and they said you can stick the 110 film (start and end) onto a 35mm film and load it as usual. Apparently it works. Need to look into that since I still haven't got my reel.
I have an old old photography book, and for dev'ing it suggests holding each end of the film in each hand, and where it sags at the bottom, is where you dip it in the solution. Then you raise and lower each hand so the film moves through the 'dip' end to end.
It's much harder to explain then it is to see the pictures !, but I hope it makes sense
should work for any format in theory, no reels needed.
I will try it one day, as I am fascinated with the old ways of doing things
I finally bought the two rolls today, I was a little bit numb to the rest of the stuff in the store (had a rather un-Lomo Nikon FE2 in my bag with a very un-Lomo roll of Fuji Neopan 400 loaded). But they still do more of a job promoting film shooting and developing than any other brand, so kudos to them on that front

Not having a darkroom means like many other people, the use of a changing bag, daylight tank and reels is the only option for me......unless of course i simply throw the loose film in the tank and soup it ....done it before now when the film wouldn't spool and I got seriously upset with it ...still got results though but with some marks in places where the film touched itself or the tank sides.
Sounds interesting if I had a darkroom thought I wouldn't wanna touch the chemicals so if you don't need to invert do you just leave the film in there?
no, you constantly run the film through the dip, back and forth.
I dont mind the chemicals, but if you do, I suppose you could use latex gloves. They're cheap enough.
Oh, and a common misconception ... you don't need a 'darkroom' , you just need a room that can be made dark.
I just found this, which looks like a very neat solution for developing 110:
http://www.photomart.co.uk/Catalogue/Pro-Camera/Consumables/Film-Accessories/REEL-FOR-110-FILM-03801
The only problem is that it is £50 minimum order
We can split? Along with Asha too I'd like 2 if I was ordering, thats nearly a tenner already Guess I can do with some films too like the superia. How are they for price anyways? seems like they sell in bulk!
If they are genuine latex gloves, then you might be allergic to the latex and that can cause itchiness. It's also something that gets worse with repeated exposure (you'd start to develop a rash). Nitrile gloves are better. If you are using nitrile gloves already, then look for powder free ones and some people also react to the powder.Psyence33 said:I usually have latex gloves on, not that I'm scared of the chemicals (maybe a little since Im a girl) but I do get itchy even after washing my hands with soap.

Alternatively, it could all be in your mind, so (wo)man up
If a few more people are interested this could be a serious proposition...! They are also selling the wide flange normal reels which are fantastic:

(I use the Samigon version, they are heaven for loading film)
Well assuming these reels will fit in a patterson tank ( which is what I use) then I could be tempted to go along with making a group order......don't forget i live in france so there is the cost of getting the reel(s) to me ......nonetheless open to ideas if it gets us all the equipment we need!
I'm pretty sure they are Paterson tank friendly, have a look at these bigger pictures here:

Indeed, I remembered it would have to include getting it to France - although obviously it could be done at cost, if necessary.
I can confirm that the AP reels are completely compatible with paterson tanks, i would assume the 110 ones are as you don't see special 110 tanks anywhere
