Disposable Cameras

A very long, long time ago 😎

I used quite a few of those in my day :D

A photographer I found out about over a decade back while listening to the Inside Analog Photography Podcast, Deon Reynolds, used a Kodak Funsaver Panorama 35 camera for a whole series of projects. He would reuse the cameras, reloading them with Kodak Tri-X. He produced large prints from these for exhibition. Gorgeous work.

Here’s a link to part of his site.

Nice 👍🏻

That is really interesting work. Didn't know him - thanks for posting!

I still use 110. Love it!

👍🏻

Minolta also had its evolved 110 format, less pretty than the Pentax, though!

I used to use a “no name that I can remember” disposable 110 camera in the late 70s/early 80s. It was connected to a film lab - you took the pictures, sent it to the lab and you got back prints plus a new camera. It looked more like a normal 110 camera than the Fuji one, no cardboard shell that I can remember.

Possibly the 1888 Kodak 😁

He he - yes, something like that but a little smaller :-).

I had a Pocket Instamatic 230 at the time and I remember pretty much switching to this disposable (I imagine it was cheaper than buying Kodak film).

Disposable cameras were very, very popular from 1990 to 2000, but eventually digital killed the disposable as well.
And especially the formidable smartphone!

Luckily, we still can get 110 film.

Oh wow, thanks for that link!

The disposable camera (Kodak FunSaver) is the best selling (non-security) dedicated camera on Amazon UK

Hi,

I never used one. I did use an Instamatic but that was a mail in film cart, not the entire camera. And it used these clever flash cubes too.
