A Pocket-Sized Revolution
Introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1972, 110 film was designed to make photography easy and accessible. Its drop‑in cartridge eliminated complicated loading, allowing anyone—from kids to casual shooters—to start taking photos instantly. While the format was often dismissed as “toy camera film,” it powered millions of family snapshots and helped introduce generations to photography.
Thanks to Lomography: 110 Lives On
For many years, 110 film seemed destined to become a forgotten relic—until Lomography stepped in and reintroduced the format in 2011. Their commitment to experimental and alternative film formats brought 110 back from the brink and gave photographers a chance to rediscover its creative potential. Today, 110 film is no longer a novelty – it’s a deliberate artistic choice.
