Films for the La Sardina MoMA
The La Sardina MoMA uses 35mm films, which are still available and can be developed by most photo labs. Possible films include the Kodak Gold 200* for color photographs and the Kodak T-Max 100* for black and white photos.
Color films are developed using the C-41 process, which is offered by almost all photo labs. Black and white films require corresponding development.
The negatives from this camera have a format of 24 mm x 36 mm. The film is transported via a wheel and must be manually rewound at the end of the roll. The back panel should only be opened after the film has been completely rewound.
The camera is a limited edition and is no longer manufactured. Used copies are available on the second-hand market, although prices may vary depending on condition.
