70mm Film

[Nokton48]

And these are my two Nikor 70mm hundred foot developing reels. I also have two Nikor matching daylight tanks. Glad I bough these years ago!

Here is 70mm Kodak Surveillance film, processed in ADOX Borax MQ developer. I would say about 800 EI developed in this manner. Hasselblad 500 C/M A70 film back

This is the woods behind my yard.

I bought a 50' foot roll of Ilford HP-5 double perf film in the 2017 ULF film program. It is very expensive - $176 . Freestyle Photographic Supplies handled the order for me. I also ordered HP-5 46mm 50 feet $114 but Ilford didn't get enough orders so the didn't make it.

I just wish someone would make 100' 70mm B&W double perf film on a regular basis.

Ummmm.

Rollei does but you have to order it from Germany. Rollei 400s is available and they have hundreds of rolls in stock right now.
I ordered two and the shipping was quick and easy. They even have dropped the price! This is a great deal per foot for fresh 70mm.

See Here to order:

So, aside from the Hasselblad and Graflex and other cameras that can take a 70mm film back, how about using a 616 camera? Any cameras worthy of the effort to put film through it? Develop it in a 616 size tank? Scan on a flatbed? I'm all for trying something different, but I don't have the money to spend on the backs or the cameras just for fun.

Who has 70mm B&W film stock in, today, Ortho or Pan, or IR, and who has stopped using their A70 backs, reels and tanks, etc and why?

I've had an Alden Loader with what I suspect is Tri-X, that I've held on to, what feels, forever, bought years ago on the hope that if I ever had a Hasselblad again, which I now have, I would be able to shoot long rolls again, and, an A70 back and cartridges, both on on my 'stimulus' list of possibilities, should I be so lucky.

Way back, when I had my first 'blad system, ( I really hate that aberration) I had the A70 back, Jobo tank and reels, a really wide affair, and simply bought my Colour Kodak Film preloaded, though I could have loaded it myself, by hand in six foot (6') lenghts for long but short rolls.

I never thought to buy a 70mm bulk loader.

Some of my favorite pics were from the beach of myriad bikini girls, in N. Myrtle Beach, shot without interruptions, for loading or swapping A12 backs, on Kodak film.

I'm no nearly as interested in cute 'kids' college students as I once was, but to be able to have 70 frames or half even, of B&W for landscape and private documentary work, ferns, roots, old homes, cars, ways of life, sure is appealing to me now.

Eli,

I have a very long thread over at RFF.com entitled "70mm Film FUN Up Ahead" that will take a while to plow through.

A lot of contributors there

Yes, that is a good thread, I've read it before.

Cheers.
