Films for the La Sardina Yaya
According to the instructions, the La Sardina Yaya is designed for 35mm film. Films of this format are still readily available today and are still being developed. A color film for the 35mm camera would be the Kodak Portra 400*. The color film can be developed in the C-41 process. The B&W film must be processed in a suitable developer, such as Rodinal or D-76.
A possible film for black and white images is the Ilford Delta 100*.
