And why would you want to shoot 110? Why not waste your time shooting that disc film that was around for a while.. Or, better yet, why not get out into the sunshine and take photos with that Leica that cost you the annual income of about a dozen Afgans and stop worrying about some obscure prototype and the film for it? :-) B.

Strangely enough it probably could have been just as comparable to the Leica c11 APS camera which they have nowadays.
