    Jeez I ain't seen these in years. If boots sell them it'll be in one of their older stores, burried in the back of the store room lol

    I'd be inclined to go with Fajitas on this one .....
    just checked - http://cgi.ebay.com/_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ120385419673

    They're still going, now any body know about 110 film .....

    Boots did used to have their own brand but no Boots sell them any more, all old Boots stock is sold off or thrown away.

    The cameras that use flashcubes haven't been sold in at least 20 years though

    110 film is also something that only ebay is going to be able to provide until stocks run out. Kodak don't make it any more

    Those Instamatic's can be converted to 35mm film :)

    That might be true, however (and sorry for knicking the thread), my dads old 110 cartridge camera which took the cubes won't take conversion too easily, as these cartridges were only about 20mm tall, and afaik the camera was partially metal !
