We develop some instant photo answers (continued)

Should you be determined to use such a thing, we'll list a few strange adapters in the product availability section at the end of this article.

Teeny film for teeny cameras
Jim Rockwell wants to get some film for a sub-miniature camera. He writes:

James, enjoyed your article on using substitute film for an old box camera (I've got a couple myself, on a shelf). Is there any parallel for getting film for a MinoxB (sub-miniature camera from Europe)?

The article Jim refers to is Senior Editor James Booth's "Box cameras in the digital age," at http://www.connectedphotographer.com/issues/issue200404/00001266001.html. James also responds to Jim's question:

I'm glad you enjoyed the article. I must confess that have absolutely zero experience when it comes to sub-miniature cameras. As a matter of fact, I've never even seen one in person, only in print and online.

I did a bit of digging and I think I may have found a retailer for you that sells subminiature film. B&H Photo has Agfa film for Minox subminiature cameras listed on their site. Not just the film either, but the developing mailers as well. They come together and separately. I've done business with B&H many times and they are not only a reputable retailer, but one of the largest in the photo catalog/mail order business.

There's a link to the sub-miniature film page at the end of this article. I hope this helps.

There you go. Three interesting questions with interesting answers. We can't guarantee we'll answer your question, but you're welcome to send in your photo questions to editor@connectedphotographer.com and if you're very, very lucky (or if we owe a whole lot of karma that week), we'll answer you with something useful.

For more information on a 4-in-1 adapter, visit http://virology-online.com/Products/4in1CF.htm. We're not exactly sure we'd recommend this. The Web page can't seem to decide if the adapter's 5-in-1 or 4-in-1, and that alone isn't a good sign.
