FAKMATIC 126 FILM ADAPTER

January 25, 2024

The FakMatic 126 Film Adapter

What is it? This ingenious re-usable adapter (imported from CameraHack, Italy) allows you to spool FPP 126 Perforated film (or 35mm film) into the adapter so you can shoot with your favorite 126 camera. Note that using 35mm film may jam some cameras.

Will it work with my camera? –

  • 126 Perforated Film – The FakMatic Adapter loaded with FPP 126 Perforated Film will work with almost all vintage 126 cameras. VIDEO on how to use FPP 126 Perforated Film in the Fakmatic.
  • 35mm Film – 35mm film can also be loaded into your Fakmatic…but…due to the “perf types” on 35mm film, your camera may jam. If you choose to use 35mm perforated film, the FakMatic works best with Kodak X-15 and similar Instamatic cameras. It will not work with most vintage 126 cameras meaning you may have to purchase a vintage Kodak X-15 camera. The good news – vintage Kodak X-15 cameras are readily available. (You can purchase a fully tested X-15 right here at The FPP!).
