Can someone help identify this can of Eastman Infrared 35mm?

The pitch difference is 4 ten thousands of an inch. per perf or 3.2 thousands of an inch for an 8 perf still frame... Don't think it will upset any still camera. But I have only used BH1866 Movie film in Pentax SLRs, Minolta SLRS, (x series) a Canon Manual Focus SLRS (a series) Canon EOS Slrs and a few odd other cameras. You would have to take more care with Movie Cameras to give them what they expect as over time the slight difference may cause a slight unsteadyness in consecutive images. something that would not even be detectable in a still camera.

Ok thanks When you lay it out like that it's clear. Reading all the stuff about different perf types it's easy to start getting the ebay sweats 'did I just buy something useless?'

vjuliano,
You seemingly did not read this:

In a still camera any perforation will work. In the long past film manufactures even sold films with either KS or BH perforation/pitch..

Those were major ones, And as already stated at niche manufactuers that is still done today.

@vjuliano You might contact the Filmphotographyproject.com people. They are friendly and have on and off had an SO Kodak Infrared film that came from a military base I think in Nevada. You might see if this is the same stock. https://filmphotographyproject.com/contact-us/

I'll suggest that the typeface on that label takes it back to the 1980s, at least. Can't say for sure though.

Good point. Yes, in general typeface can be a hint. I myself rerrered here in another case to such for a vague setting in time. In this case it does not ring a bell for me, but as non-American here the details are too delicate for me to know.
But one should differ between a typeface in an ad or catalog, where one would expect such to be carefully chosen (with fashion in mind), and that applied for technical printing.

Perhaps its time you spooled out a roll and made a test to see what you've got?

I will this week. I was going to wait for my bulk loader to be free, but I will just load a roll in the dark bag. Il post back with what I find.
