Morning All!

I've just dug out a absolutely tiny camera. It seems to be about an inch tall and maybe and inch and a half long. Sadly I don't have it with me to give exact measurements.

It seems to be standard reel film, but in a tiny size, is there a common size for "mini" film? And does anyone know somewhere (online ideally) to buy it from?

I was also considering investing in a table-top "tent" studio for developing etc. Does anyone have any experience with these, and are they worthwhile at all?

All the best

APS is a little smaller than 35mm

As is 127 film

Minox is even smaller, but is a cartridge design rather than roll

and Fuji's instax mini is a small instant (Polaroid) type film..

Thanks Chuck, this should get me started.

I also have a Polaroid 1000 kicking about: http://www.google.co....b=wi&biw=1600&bih=813

Which looks pretty cool - I am unable to work out if this takes "standard" polaroid film, or whether it is a different type (I have been confused by a couple of forum threads found I think!).

Just to be clear, I do not intend to be an evil spy.

Spare.
SX-70 film in one of those (the model 1000 is the UK version of the onestep).... it's not cheap though as it was disconinued several years ago.

Ah, excellent Chuck. Still worth a go I think.

Cheers for your helpfulness, as always.

For future note: the most likely fitting film is the "127" for the "spy camera"

Static wireless spy cameras disguised as ordinary household products is the ideal concern something home. The most common incarnation as the miniature spy camera is a clock-either a wall clock, the alarm clock or a clock. Are all sports sensitive, programmable motion to start recording to take place. Save battery life through activating motion sensors, you spy clock-or just keep it running for an average of six hours of continuous monitoring.
