Kodacolor II 126 film cartridge, expiration year 1980. The Eastman Kodak Company , referred to simply as Kodak ( / ˈ k oʊ d æ k / ), is an American public company that produces various products related to its historic basis in film photography.
The flat nature of the format also led to the potential advantage of greater sharpness over curved spool-based cassette formats (such as Minox film, 110 and 126 film). Disc film has a very thick acetate base, comparable thickness with 4×5" sheet film, which holds the film much flatter than the other formats of the time.
The film was designed to be processed in the C-22 process, which is the predecessor to today's C-41 process. Only a few specialty labs still process this film, due to the length of discontinuation. Surviving exposed (but unprocessed) Kodacolor-X and C-22 films can still yield color images, although this requires highly specialised development ...
Interesting question. Reminds me of RAPID, where the film goes out from one cartridge similar to the usual 35mm cartridge, and into another one. But that might not count. Super8 uses a one pass system with two chambers inside the cartridge. You don't see them the same way as 126 and 110, but I don't know when it came out relative to 126.
