Where to buy black and white film

For 110 and 116 camers

Try Tempe Camera. (tempecamera.com) If they don't have it, or know where to get it, nobody has it. You may have to e-mail them asking if they know how to get it.

It's getting harder and harder to get black and white film, however. You might be better off getting color and then digitally converting it to black and white. (Plus, if you start with color, you have a few more options for filters.)

I used to be a dedicated black and white photographer. Pretty much, I start with digital color images these days.

If I recall correctly, 116 film is close in width to 70mm roll film and it might be possible to get some 70mm film and re-roll it on your 116 film spools. It would probably cost a bit for the film, and take some care and work (in total darkness of course) to reroll the film. I think that 116 size cameras haven't been made since the 1950s or so. Otherwise, eBay may be the only source.

It looks like both Clark and York have quit selling film....I haven't used them for some time, but I used to get B&W and 35 mm color from them, as well as 110 film.

I guess with digital cameras, selling film isn't profitable.

I know Walmart and Amazon sell B&W film, but not in 110.

Depending on where you are, you may not even find anyone to develop or print B&W film, let alone 110 and 116. Those old cameras are interesting, but those which require discontinued film are fairly useless.

Years ago I dealt with them on a regular basis and got excellent turn around time. They were great for black and white film.

If you live near a town with a camera shop, you might try there. Our college students buy B&W film there for classes.

Being from a town that was built on film, maybe I can help. Here's a company started by former Kodak employees, when thier jobs ran out.

FBB... do you still own one of those cameras?

I haven't seen 110 film available in decades. I used one once back in the 70's, and was so dismayed with the 'once in a lifetime' shots I got... the prints were tiny and grainy. One of those 'throwaway' 35mm cameras they sell now, where you send back the entire 'camera' will give you greater pics than the best 110 camera ever made.

If you can't find any film (I get several photography magazines, and you have to search hard for any kind of film... even BW print film is getting scarce) look into a digital camera... I daresay, with an hour of online searching, you could find a great older model digital camera, for what two rolls of 110 film/processing would cost. Most digital cameras will take photos in sepia! or b/w... if not, free digital imaging programs such as XN View, will digitally convert any photo into an excellent b/w print.

Good Luck!
