Does anyone know anything about 110 film cameras? I have plenty of 110 film, and only two camera's that can use it.
Also, does anyone here play with toy cameras? Like Holga, Diana, and others?
And I'm looking for a Kiev 10, if anyone knows where to find one...

I'm the proud owner of a Pentax 110 SLR complete with three lenses! I really ought to display it or sell it, I'm most unlikely to use it again!

Not much about the cameras (other than the Pentax, there weren't any you could call a "pro" camera - all toy-ish in design and use), but, it's 16mm film retrofitted to go into still cameras. Going further, it was then retrofitted AGAIN to go horizontally into that wonderful format we know as APS (and given 2 different sizes, and a crop of the full size to make "panoramic") - which couldn't have died soon enough.
Had a few Kodak 110 Instamatics in the 80's (might even have one in a box somewhere). Had a friend with the Pentax - it was pretty cool, but by then I wan onto medium format - and yes, the Holga was/is a cool camera! -the one I played with had 1 (could have been 2, I'm suddenly blanking on that one...) shutter speed, 2 apertures.
Still didn't compete with the Diana in my mind - with the Diana, each camera was its own little monster with its own little quirks - light leaks, etc. Each different one would give you a different image with different "oddities" that made it unique.
I suddenly wanna do a search on ebay... I've got a LOT of medium format film in my fridge...
