The Flickr 116Film Image Generatr

I acquired a No. 2A, Brownie Camera Model B several years ago at an estate sale. I paid $12 for this camera but at the time I didn't realize that it shot obsolete 116 film. It sat in a cabinet collecting dust until recently when I discovered Film For Classics filmforclassics.com/ during an online search for 116 film. FFC distributes their product through various online retailers and I bought a roll of their 116 HP5+ from Blue Moon Camera, bluemooncamera.com/.

FFCs respools modern film in several obsolete formats, to include 116, 616, 127, and 828 and I bought this roll to run through my No. 2A Brownie. Overall I am pleased with the results from this first roll of film. This picture is of my wife, as we were out inspecting our pastures following a severe winter storm at our place in Northeast, KS. I developed this roll with HC110 Dilution B.

On the downside, the film from FFC is pricey, and I also had some light leaks on this roll of film, probably due to the roll coming unraveled after finishing it. The next time I run film through this camera I will ensure that I download the film in a dark room.

This was the carbarn of the onetime Washington-Virginia Railway Co along Four Mile Run in Arlington, VA. It is believed to have been taken after the line's abandonment on April 9, 1932. Clearly the structure had seen better days by this time as evidenced by the deteriorated wood planks above the bay doorways. At this point the Washington-Virginia had been renamed as the Mt Vernon Alexandria & Washington Railway connecting it's namesake cities until 1930 when the line south from Alexandria to Mt Vernon had been sold for highway use. The George Washington Memorial Highway occupies the old interurban right of way now. Incidentally, this site is still in use as a transit maintenance facility although the carbarn is long gone.
Unknown Photographer, 116 or 616 original B&W negative

The Baltimore & Annapolis Railroad's Annapolis terminal was on Bladen St about two blocks from the Maryland State Capitol building. Here, the depot has but one more year left before the B&A switches all rail service to buses rendering the structure and adjacent rail yard obsolete. St Johns College occupies this site now. January 19, 1949. Original 116/616 B&W negative by L.W. Rice.

Some turn of the century Kodak Folding cameras took a roll film format called 116 and 616 film.

116 is a roll film introduced by Eastman Kodak in 1899. The film stock is 70mm wide. In 1932, Kodak introduced 616 film. The film is the same but the spool is the same width but with a slightly slimmer core. Kodak discontinued both 116 and 616 in 1984.

The Film Photography Project is committed to offering 65mm film so that you can DIY (Do-It-Yourself), roll your own and shoot with these wonderful cameras.

Since our last 116 / 616 update we've purchased fresh Vision3 50D (Daylight) 65mm film direct from Eastman Kodak!

Twp-frame panorama. Kodak 1A Folding Pocket Kodak, size 116 film (respooled of course). 116 was 2 1/2 inch film. I'm not sure why Kodak made such a plethora of sizes.
