A reusable cassette loading 35mm film in Instamatic 126 cameras: with FAKMATIC it’s possible. FAKMATIC is a reusable cassette that replaces 126 film cartridges which are almost impossible to find, often undevelopable, and always expensive.

RECOMMENDATIONS: The Instamatic cameras have a large transparent window at the back to check the film type, speed, and frame number printed on the 126 film. Cover that window with black tape or paper to prevent light from entering the camera.

CHECK THE SPOOL’s SPACING: in rare occasions the cassette’s spool sits loose in the camera’s cartridge slot. If this is your case, you’ll need that little round plastic washer that’s included in the kit: put it under the FAKMATIC cartridge right below the spool (don’t put it inside the cassette). With this additional padding the film advance crank will firmly engage with the spool.

I was a bit nervous about loading 35mm into a 126 camera, but the rewind knob on this cassette made the process straightforward. The first test roll came out with perfect exposures, saving my vintage camera from being a shelf decoration.

The cassette clicks right into my Instamatic 126 like it was made for it, and I've already run three rolls of regular 35mm through with no light leaks. Loading takes a couple tries to get the hang of, but once you do it's reusable so I'm not hunting down expired 126 cartridges anymore.

Finally shot my grandpa's old Instamatic again after years of it sitting in a drawer. Loading regular 35mm into the reusable cassette took a couple tries to get right, but once it clicked in, the camera worked like nothing had changed. Being able to reload it instead of hunting down extinct 126 cart
