Hi Kami,

You might try calling around to various camera shops to see if they still have some 126 film. I bought several 126 cartridges at National Camera in Minneapolis last month. Kodak quit selling 126 to wholesalers on Dec. 31, 1999 (it just missed the 21st Century). The cartidges I purchased have an expiration date of Oct 2001. So, it might still be on the retail shelves in your area, too. 126 is larger than 110, would be easier to work with (for turning into a camera), should make a better image and a more successful exhibit. It is the same width as 35mm (just in case a mini-lab person raises an eyebrow when you want it developed).

  My daughter is making a pinhole camera for her science exhibit but you can't seem to buy 126 film anymore. The Kodak Hotline said we could use 110 instead with a little modification. Does anyone know what we need to do different with 110 film instead? Thanks a million.
  Have a great one,
  Kami Jensen
