Jay,
I love the little cameras. Luckily Blue Moon Camera in nearby St. Johns still processes Minox, 16mm, 126, all the odd formats. It isn't cheap, but at the rate I shoot these cameras (a roll every three years) it's worth it.

Vaughn,
Thanks! I used the brass bumps on the Minox chain to focus at around 12 inches. Genius! They are aborted peppers, actually, planted in containers that were too small. I have a black thumb!
Jonathan
EDIT: Very nice image with the Rolleiflex. The emulsion brush marks add to it. Really good.
Thanks, Tom!
Vaughn, I really like your family photos-- there's a lot of warmth there.
Jonathan, I'm way too stubborn to let anyone process my film. If someone is going to ruin my film, it's going to be me!
Jay,
I process all my own in just about every other format, but those little ones + my thick fingers = trouble in the darkroom.
Jonathan
Man, with all these crazy tiny formats flying around lately, I'm thinking I should ask my mom to dig out my childhood 126 cartridges. There are probably some real treasures in there. The pictures have acquired that wonderful 1970's patina.
And another really good one Jay. Your wife is so striking and natural, the latter due in no small part, no doubt, from your being behind the lens. I might have said this before, but your pictures of her always have this wonderful intimacy. Basically, I think you guys make a great team!
