I dug out an old LOREO MKII I had not used for years. There was a roll in it which I finished.

When I popped the roll out, it was APS film. Everything I have read says the MKII uses standard 35mm film. HELP!

p.s. The developed pictures (I received scanned digital files from the developer) were VERY grainy.

I don't know if that was due to the age or the film or because I was using APS film in a plain old 35mm camera.

You can't use APS film in a "plain old 35mm camera". The transport mechanisms are totally incompatible. There's no way to feed the APS film through the sprockets on the 35mm camera or engage the leader with the takeup spool.

Any info greatly appreciated.

AFAIK, there were no APS Loreo MKII cameras built. Did you receive the APS cartridge back with the developed film, or just the scans.

400 speed APS film tended to be pretty grainy.
