I'd love to see 220 film make a comeback. So convenient not having to change rolls so often.

And it's probably the easiset of all the dead formats to bring back. My Bronica is able to take 220 and I wish I could put a roll in sometimes after going through a roll of 120 so fast.

Blue moon camera still sells minox film too. I bought a Minox EC at a thrift store for a good price and was able to shoot with it. Still need to finish the roll though to see how they come out.

I would assume that when you're talking about the "panchromatic" format, you meant "panoramic", right? Just to be sure. Loved the video, I didn't know about many of these formats!

We can thank the APS film for inspiring the APS-C size digital sensor that's about the same size as the APS film negative. I had a Kidak APS point and shoot camera. But I lost track of it. Hopefully I'll find it in a box somewhere in the future.

Yeah, it makes sense that APS was replaced by digital point-and-shoots. It's certainly the still photography version of the dad-camcorder - the mum camera. I bet most were purchased before a major holiday/vacation. I mean the ELPH/IXUS started as APS.

At the moment, there is a variety of films available for Minox, 110, 120, 127, Instant, Plane-Film, Super 8 and Double-8. Brand new material! Only problem: The demand is very high, so once in a while, one version is temporary sold out.

You forgot Polaroid Instant 35mm Slide film, in which that was a Fashion Photographer Crazed in using the film for creative effects, and also Polaroid E6 4x5 in quick loads in which both Kodak, and Fuji shallow the market in the terms Quickload, and Easyload film. And last Kodak Ektapress, and Surpa Journalism Color Print Films that were made entirely for the Color film processors to be process as it was pushable 2 stops for the 5 Star Edition run. Also I read on Google that Minox film is still being made as the Minox Camera started in Riga, Latvia made the first Minox in 1937, and then the Germans copy it. Til September 2014 No Minox design was ever made.

My dad got a Kodak Disc as a settlement for a Kodak Instant Camera after Polaroid won a patent-infringement lawsuit. The Disc was fun and easy to use but the pictures was crap. As for APS i remember it as being expensive, a bit gimmicky with no clear benefits. The picture quality was also a bit lower. It was more or less dead before digital cameras took off.
@tomjanowski8584

APS had awesome benefits. Ability to rewind in the middle of a roll, swap out film and then go back to the first roll and pick up where you left off. Also the film had the exif data for each shot. Finally, the film had the film/camera could changeable aspect ratios. Pretty clear benefits, not gimmicky at all.

APS did have a bunch of problem, at the time the image quality was bad, and could not fight with 35mm. The carridge were cheap and the often got stuck in the camera. Camera where cheap. So yes, film were stock in Camera. Consumer did not undertand the mode of you did what. Destoying the picture. ANd really, it was only a crop so it was better to do the full résolution espacilly with a small film like this. FIlm there supose to be protect by the canister Wich 1 time of 5 got broke when we did reprint. They event did slr Camera. People were using it, but the camera were already in shamble in the 2004. Digital Was the nail in the coffin

Kodak it is thought introduced new film formats which at least when new would be exclusive to Kodak them selves, manufacturing, processing and distribution, selling the rights to other manufacturers if they wished to use them. Ultimately most companies chose to use the existing formats available innovative ways, half frame being one such example, the film stock was freely available, processing was the same and existing processing systems could be used.

Think of the time and money and time Kodak wasted trying to make film photography easier and small with the likes of 110 film, disc film and APS. APS was "bridge" film. It was a step into the digital arena. Unfortunately, Kodak didn't drop the film part of it to go totally digital when it should have. And surprise....35mm survives.

Here's a list of odd or uncommon film formats and where to find them today. (Note: APS film and Disc film are only available in new old stock and are not on the list, also Movie film like double 8 and old standard 16 are available at the FPP store, others like 9.5mm film are at the Color Films Archives in Paris and single 8 is available at Click and Surr, don't know if those last two can ship to the United States) 110 film: (new stock available) 110 film was introduced in 1972 and is 1.3x1.7 cm in size. It is made by Lomography who make it in their Color Tiger 200 and B&W Orca 100. They also make it in their experimental Lobster Redscale 200, LomoChrome Metropolis 100-400, LomoChrome Purple 100-400, LomoChrome Turquoise 100-400 and their limited edition color ‘92 and sun kissed 92 films. 116 film and 616 film: (new stock available) 116 film was introduced in 1899 and has a negative size of 6.5×11 cm making it a bit larger than regular medium format film. 616 film is the same size but is on a smaller or skinnier spool so it can fit in more compact cameras (some of which are half frame). Both of these are specially made by Film for Classics in the Ilford HP5 Plus film stock and sold on Blue Moon Camera’s store. 122 film: (new stock kinda available) 122 film was introduced in 1903 and has a negative size of 8.25 x 14 cm in size making it almost a large format film. This stock is specially made by Film for Classics but hasn't been made available on any particular site yet and seems to be something that would require contacting them. Not exactly sure what film stock they do this in either. At the moment it looks like Blue Moon Camera has a page for it that says it is coming soon although it has said that for a while. 126 film: (bulk load available) 126 film was introduced in 1963 and was the same size and type of film as 828 but in a cartridge. This film for most of the past years was only available in either old stock or loading 35mm in an adapter (The FakMatic). This year the Film Photography Project has introduced the first properly single perforated 126 film since 2008. It requires either an old cartridge that you can reload or their FakMatic adapter and they have tutorials on their youtube channel on how to do this in a darkroom or dark bag. They offer these bulk loads in Kodak Gold 200 and their WolfMan / Cine 16 BW 100. There is some talk with those running Ferrania who have equipment that needs some work before operation, but at the moment the bulk load from the FPP is the best option for the authentic 126 film. 127 film: (new stock available) 127 film was introduced in 1912 and has a negative size of 4×6.5cm making it bigger than 135 but smaller than 120. This format is available in multiple places. Shanghai offers this format in their GP3 100 film stock and recently have also released Kodak Gold 200 in 127 as well. There’s also the black and white Rerapan 100 (there also used to be Rerachrome 100 but this hasn't been available for a while and may be permanently discontinued). Reflx Lab also sells their Pro 100 color film in 127. On B&H Photo and Blue Moon Camera’s website it is specially made by Film for Classics who make it in Kodak’s Portra 160 and 400 and Ilford’s FP4 Plus and HP5 Plus. On B&H Photo’s website they also have this format in Arista EDU Ultra 100 and 400, Kentmere Pan 100 and 400, Kodak T-Max 100, Kodak Ektar 100, and Kodak Gold 200. 220 film: (new stock available) 220 film is the same size as 120 but is made to be much longer and have more exposures. This format is available from two different sources, Shanghai GP3 B&W and 220 Pro 100 color from Reflx Lab who make it from Aerocolor 2460 which can also be cross processed in E-6 to make slides, Reflex Lab also sells Kodak Vision3 250D and 500T for 220 (The Vision3 films actually expose the sprockets on the side). The only other options beside these are old stock from a brand like Kodak or Fuji. 620 film: (new stock available) 620 film was introduced in 1932 and has the same sizes as 120 film but on a smaller or skinnier spool for more compact cameras. It is available in multiple places. Shanghai offers this in their GP3 100 film stock. The Film Photography project offers this in their basic B&W and color 100 film stocks (not sure if these are respooled from other stocks). Flic Film also offers a B&W 100 film in 620. On B&H Photo and Blue Moon Camera’s website it is specially made by Film for Classics who offer Kodak’s Portra 160 and 400, Kodak's Tri-X and T-Max 400 and Ilford’s FP4 Plus and HP5 Plus, Blue Moon Camera recently also released Film for Classics Kodak Ektachrome 620. On B&H Photo they also offer Kodak T-Max 100, Kentmere Pan 100 and 400, Arista EDU Ultra 100 and 400, and Kodak Gold 200. 828 film: (new stock available) 828 film was introduced in 1935 is the same size as 35mm but is unperforated (Originally had one perforation per frame) and on a spool with backing paper. It is again specially made by Film for Classics on Blue moon Camera in Kodak’s Portra 400 and Tri-X 400. B&H Photo also sells these stocks alongside Film for Classics Kodak T-Max 100 and 400, Kodak Portra 160, Kodak Ektar 100, Kodak Gold 200, Kentmere Pan 100 and 400, and Arista EDU Ultra 100 and 400. Minox spy film: (new stock available) Minox spy film was introduced in the 1930s and was around the same size as 110 for other 16mm films but was put in a cartridge. It made by Blue Moon Camera who offer Minox Color 100 and 400, B&W 25, 100, 400 and 1600, as well as E6 slide film, I don't know if these are from other film stocks but it would make sense because they also offer lomography’s experimental purple and turquoise films as well. Minolta 16: (bulk load available) Minolta 16 was introduced in 1937 and is the same size as any 16mm film. The film is put in a cartridge similar to 110 or Minox spy film. It is currently available as a bulk load from the Film Photography Project who sell a 25 feet bulk load in Kodak Vision3 50D, Kodak Double X 200, Fuji HR20 (Microfilm that can be used as B&W negatives), and Kodak Ektachrome 100.
