Complete Guide to 70mm Film

Very interesting! I haven't come across these before. Being able to cut notches for any format is a great feature! What length of film can these hold?

A normal 220 length. 116 and 616 lengths fit comfortably in the reel.

Notches must be accurate. I file a little at a time, checking with film as I go.

So far I've filed extra notches for APS and 70mm.

This is my current carrying around Hasselblad 500EL/M 10 Years On the Moon A70 70mm Film Back 70mm Straight Back Finder. 60mm F3.5 C T* Distagon with Custom Made Hood Cut Down Machine Shop. Film Back is load with Type II Kodak Plus-X 1982 Vintage works like new stock so far for me. 24 Exposures loaded in a Kodak 70mm Cassette ready to go. I have plenty of Olde Paterson Reels, didn't mind at all to dedicate a few to 70mm developing. When I'm loading something I view as important to me, I am glad I have my permanently modified reels.

Nice unit.
 
the 70mm haul from the latest Astrum order! I’m keeping 150’ of it, plus a little extra that I put in a cassette.

I may have an opportunity to get some Aerocolor IV film, and if I can, my plan would be to get it slit to 70mm. It wouldn’t be cheap, but I know at least a couple of you have expressed interest in fresh C41 70mm stock, so anyone would like to know more, here is the thread in the group organized functions section.
 

Hello there "Film4Me"... If there is any questions about the experiments with the reformulation "Ansco-30/JK" let me know. With either the Kodak 2490 RAR Film or Fuji HR-U X-ray film.
 

Thank you so much!
