Cameras with discontinued film

Through a misunderstanding or two I’ve ended up with a small number of cameras that can’t be used. Film for them is either no longer being made which is the case for most of them, or only being produced by one or two labs in the world making each roll EXTREMLY expensive. So I just cleaned them up and admired these icons of photographic history, but didn’t have the pleasure of getting to shoot with them.

I’ve learned a lot since owning these and if I had them back now I would figure out a way to shoot with them because if you’re willing to make the effort you can “make” film for almost any camera.

Agfa-Ansco PD16 Clipper, 1930
An early “folding” camera style, the whole lens assembly slides out and locks into place extended. I wanted to shoot with this one so badly, but unfortunately no one has made 616 film for a LOT of years.
Univex TwinFlex, 1939
Holds the distinction of being the smallest twin lens reflex (TLR) camera ever made. Body is of bakelite and aluminum, and requires #00 film. Bet you didn’t know they even started numbering there did you?
Agfa Pioneer , 1947
This brute of a camera seems stripped down to the bare essentials. It also requires 616 film.
Kodak Brownie No 0 Model A, 1928
Using 127 film that Kodak stopped making years ago, this Box Rollfilm camera was produced from 1914 – 1935. It’s made out of cardboard and wood, and originally sold for $1.25.
UPDATE: A company in Canada just started making 127 film again. Wish I had this one back to shoot with!
Univex Model A, 1933
A small plastic camera made in New York by Universal. It has a wire-frame finder with the rear sight moulded onto the body and the front frame folding onto the lens barrel. Original cost was only $0.39, and it used Universal's no.00 roll film at $0.10 per roll - leading it to sell over three million cameras in three years.
Polaroid I-Zone, 2000
Made a 1" x 1.5" image on a sticker. You can still buy the film here and there, but sadly it is all dried up and no longer produces an image
Argus Carefree 110, 1973
A classic 110 camera with all the extras, except film. This is one format you can't really make film for on your own.
Kodak Disc 4100, 1984
Pretty sure the disc format holds the distinction of being the smallest commercially made negative. Which is probably one of the reasons it disappeared so quickly. This one came in a box I bought with the only description being "19 pounds of cameras".
Trimlite Instamatic 28, 1975
A fixed focus 110 in the classic Kodak Instamatic line. Do you LOVE that faux leather cover??
Vivitar 835AW, 1982
110 Film, all weather design with built-in flash
Sony FD Mavica MVC-FD97, 1981
The All Time Winner of the World in my UGLY camera contest. This is a digital camera, so technically the problem isn't a lack of film, it's the inability to read the storage medium. It has two options - some kind of 3"ish disc, or the original Memory Stick. I bought two different kinds of Memory Stick readers, but none of them seem to work with this older style.
Minolta-16, 1956
In the 50’s this camera was marketed as the hiker’s camera because it was so compact. Then in one fateful James Bond movie he was seen in a Russian Diplomat’s office clandestinely photographing classified documents with it and it was forever more thought of as a spy camera. Uses 16mm film which is pretty hard to replicate these days (the 35mm canister is just there to show how small it is).
