Pygmy camera is a blast from the past

Before digital, there was 35-millimeter film. And before that, the 110 format was the most popular choice among shutterbugs, using film strips stored in a cartridge that plugs into the back of the shooter. Now Japanese cult design house Superheadz has engineered the Ikimono Series 110 Camera to resurrect that photography of yesteryear.

Small enough to be hung on a keychain, the boxy Ikimono camera may be petite (40 x 30 millimeters and 26.6 grams without cartridge) but is still a fully functional shooter. Flip the sides and back of the camera (think Transformer) to secure a 110 film cartridge behind it, and you're set to shoot. There's just one problem: availability and processing of the ancient format. You may want to check your area to see if any old film-processing stores still handle them.

"Before digital, there was 35-millimeter film. And before that, the 110 format was the most popular choice among shutterbugs,"

This is completely, and hilariously, wrong. 35mm film was invented and has been in use since 1892 (it was recognized as an international standard in 1909). 110 film cartridges were introduced in 1972, eighty years after 35mm film.
