!26 film cassette has 35mm film inside, it was the reason the
resurrected Agfa "Karat cassette" called "Rapid" system was considered
an answer regarding the Kodak 126 cassette (nothing to do with the
old Kodak 126 roll film). The difference is the number of
perforations, while the film width is 35 mm, the regular perforations
reduce the usable film width to 24mm and then the 24x24mm frame format
for several cameras using the Agfa Rapid system. The 126 cartridge has
only one registration hole per frame and the the usable film width is
extended to 28mm and then the 28x28mm format for the 126 cartridge.
Writing from emory, if extracting the film from the cassette, it could
be developed by some regular 35mm film developing machines, but a lot
of commercial labs don't know it, the real problem is to print with
machines for 35mm due to the lack of perforations, I read somewhere
that it could be possible doing some adjustments.
