On the Web: Converting an Instamatic/126 camera to shoot 35mm

I tried this before a few years ago, with a bad result. Looks like I could have used this tutorial!

Excerpt:

I was fortunate enough to have found my Instamatic camera with a 126 cartridge inside. After reading up on the film format and it’s (lack of) availability, I thought I’d just bought a showpiece. About a week later, I stumbled across an article explaining how to reload the 126 cartridge with 35mm film.

First thing I had to do was sacrifice the film in the cartridge. I didn’t want to, but developing someone elses 126 film would have been expensive and a waste of money anyway. I’ve made a youtube video of how to do this procedure, it will do a better job of explaining how this part works.
