Lomography Color Tiger 110 200

Color Tiger is Lomography's color negative 110 cartridge film, ISO 200, and it exists because Lomography is more or less the only reason anyone can still load a Pentax Auto 110 or a Minolta 110 Zoom in 2026. Kodak introduced the 110 format in 1972 alongside the Pocket Instamatic cameras. Fuji dropped 110 in 2009 and Kodak followed, leaving a stranded format until Lomography began producing 110 stocks in 2012, starting with the Orca black-and-white and then adding Tiger, Peacock, and Lobster.

Where Lomography sources Color Tiger is famously unconfirmed. The company has never publicly named the OEM, and the speculation rotates between cut-down master rolls of consumer C-41 stock from one of the surviving major manufacturers. The result punches above expectations for the format. Colors come through saturated and reasonably accurate, the grain is finer than you would expect on a negative that small (the 110 frame is 13mm by 17mm, less than half the area of 35mm), and sharpness in good light is adequate for postcard-size prints.

The known catch is the backing paper. Color Tiger has been flagged for years for orange light leaks scattered across frames, traced to the paper backing inside the cartridge rather than the emulsion. Some shooters embrace it as part of the Lomography aesthetic. Others find it frustrating when an otherwise clean composition has an orange splotch through the middle. Storing cartridges in their original foil pouches until the moment of loading helps.

Available only as 110 cartridges, 24 exposures per cart, processed in standard C-41 by any lab that handles consumer color negative. Most labs will scan but not print directly from 110 because the format predates most modern enlarger carriers.

Reciprocity exponent is 1.20. Zone Light Meter applies the correction past one second, so a 30-second metered reading climbs to about 60 seconds at the negative. With most 110 cameras locked at fixed shutter speeds in the 1/100 range, that threshold rarely comes up.
