Films for the Carena Mini-Zoom 115 S

The Carena Mini-Zoom 115 S is built for the 35mm format. The 35mm format is the most common film format. Therefore, some manufacturers still produce for this format. A nice film for color pictures is the Fujifilm Superia 400* and for black and white pictures the Kodak T-Max 400*.

The color film is processed in the C-41 development process. C-41 films are developed by almost all photo labs. You can hand in your films at most drugstore chains in Germany, for example.

The negatives of the Zoom camera have a size of 24 mm x 36 mm. Thus, at least 36 photos fit on a 36-frame 35mm film.
