Film Photography Podcast Episode 364 – January 26, 2026 -  126 Format Film - The Square Format Still Lives! /  The Film Photography Podcast celebrates the often-overlooked 126 cartridge film format, a unique system that introduced the “cartridge” system to the world in 1963.  Introduced by Eastman Kodak, it reinvented the “snapshot” to millions using a simple to use “pop it in” cartridge format. Hosts Michael Raso and Owen McCafferty - true champions of keeping 126 alive - dig into the format’s origins, its cultural impact, and why it mattered so much to everyday photographers. The discussion also explores the sad demise of 126 film in 2000, and - more importantly - its unexpected revival in 2026 and beyond. Thanks to modern ingenuity, including 3D-printed adapters, newly perforated 126 film, and the dedicated work of Claudio from CameraHack Italy alongside FPP’s team, the square-format cartridge is finding new life for today’s analog shooters.
