What are the advantages of shooting 110 film?
It’s easy to use!
The 110 film format is very beginner-friendly, so if you’d like to get a feel for shooting film without things getting too complicated, then you can’t go wrong with 110.
You can throw all your worries away when shooting 110, as this format doesn’t require you to be too technical. The 110 format’s uncomplicated nature makes it the perfect companion for some fun, laid-back shooting.
It’s convenient!
Portability is another beauty of the 110 film format. Most 110 cameras fit easily in your pocket, making them perfect to take everywhere and capture life spontaneously! You can even change to a different film stock mid-roll.
The grain!
Do you wonder if film is really worth it? Seeing the world through a miniature film camera with unique results can definitely show you that it is!
Aside from being a user-friendly option that helps you learn the basics of film photography and even get experimental, (especially with cameras such as the Diana Baby 110 and the Fisheye Baby) the charm of 110 lies in its beautifully retro results.
Its nostalgic lo-fi look and prominent grain is a big plus for everyone who shoots 110 and is definitely a major reason why this format never goes out of style.
