Complete Guide to 70mm Film

[film4Me]

Another creative idea. What's stopping me from shooting 70mm in my cameras at this point is getting backing paper for 70mm.

I can imagine that as a problem. Is anyone making aftermarket backing paper?

Luckily I kept mine for future use, but it does get frayed after three or four uses. I'll search the Net to see if anyone is making it.

Hi!

I can get it in big rolls from Astrum. You have to cut and mark it yourself but that’s not so bad considering how hard the actual paper is to find.

That's the issue. I need like 6 feet's worth, max. Don't need enough for production. I'd shoot one or two rolls of the stuff a year.

I mean I can send like 6 feet to you if you want, assuming I can find a way to ship it so it isn’t crumpled or anything. But honestly it’s really cheap, so I would personally recommend just get a roll even if you don’t plan to use much.

Their website is not a great place to look for stuff, better to email and ask, or chat on instagram. Honestly I don’t even remember why I asked about it, it isn’t even on the product sheet I have.

It’s around 8” wide and the roll weighs 1 kg.
