When I was about 9 years old I was introduced to my first camera. It wasn't much to behold, however I had lots of fun with it and took my first experimental pictures. I'm trying to dig these up and when i do, they will be put up on my site. In the meantime, when i was on my last trip to Greece, I found that camera! I brought it back here in the hope of resurecting its use. Does anyone know if this film can be acquired anymore? It uses 126 film.
I'm impressed that it was actually made in Toronto. This is unheard of these days. Everything is made in far east countries (not that it's a bad thing). This camera probably dates back to before 1977. It was a free giveaway at the time by kodak sales people to retailers who sold film. My parents ran a variety store, so we got one. You'll be amazed at what you can do with a fixed focus camera. Especially this one since it used a larger format film canister than the later sub compact instant cameras.
The key to your problem is the spooling...
If my memory serves me right, 126 is exactly the same as shooting with 120 film. The main difference is the thickness of the spool.
So basically if you can get a hold of a couple of extra 126 spools, you should be able to use 120 film in the camera. You will just need to respool the film in the dark.
PS: when processing your rolls, make sure to make it clear that you want your spools back.
IGNORE my previous comment, I was thinking of 220 film not 126...
Anyways you can find the film here.

I dunno where you would get it processed though.
