Still trying to pare down the contents of my film fridge...
I have a few cans of SO-379 film that are spooled down from a 1000 foot roll. This is either a prototype of 5366, or a special order Estar base version (5366 is normally acetate), thus the SO number. Here is how Kodak describes this film:
EASTMAN Fine Grain Duplicating Positive Film 5366
(35 mm) and 7366 (16 mm) is a low-speed duplicating
film intended for making master positives from
black-and-white camera negatives which, when printed
onto EASTMAN Fine Grain Duplicating Panchromatic
Negative Film 5234 and 7234, produces duplicate
negatives that are only distinguishable from the originals
by skilled observers. This blue-sensitive black-and-white
films has very high resolution and incorporates a yellow
dye, which is removed during processing, to provide very
high acutance.
And yes the raw film looks very very yellow! It's blue-sensitive, so using it as a still film is going to give slightly interesting results. But it's slow (about ISO 6) and insanely fine-grained, so that might be appealing for some uses. Here is the Kodak tech sheet on it:

I spool it down using rewinds and split reels from a 1000 foot roll onto a 2" core, then put it in a used plastic bag and metal can from 100' bulk rolls. Because of the bigger core, I usually can't quite get 100' on there and still have it fit in the can or bulk loaders. In this case, with the thinner Estar base, I think I got at least 100' on there but it's only approximate.
Here are some test shots with it:
For comparison here are some Double-X shots done at the same time (so you can see the different color sensitivity)
I'm asking $50 a roll in the US, which includes Priority Mail shipping. If you buy more than one roll, or also buy a roll of the other film I'm selling (SO-331), I'll discount the price because they can ship together. International will be higher, usually about $10 more for the additional shipping.
