I remember the classic failure of the 110 format. Kodak was, of course, trying to cut down on costs and smaller negatives meant less silver, which they hauled in by the pallet.
I had, from time to time, some development projects with Kodak (commercial products) and remember seeing the prototype assembly line for their 110 camera.
As we all know, the image quality just wasn't there. DAW
