Kodak XXXX 2468: perforated or not? (not 2462?)

[MCB18]

Found a roll online that I’m interested in getting, but I want to know if it’s perforated. If it is, then I’m absolutely going to get it. If not, I’ll have to think on it a bit. However, I have seen that both perforated and unperforated versions seem to exist. So, how can I tell the difference??

If you can get a good look at the label on the can, this guide MIGHT help:

Best to just ask the seller...

Unfortunately this film comes in a foil pouch with a square label that doesn't give that much detail. See attached. I asked the seller about it but I don’t think they’ll know, unfortunately.

Sorry, the link did not make it, but I will say that most suppliers of that stock I find online are microfilm supply houses.

Chances are better than not it is not perforated, but that's just a wild guess.

Oops, forgot to attach it. Here it is if that helps:

PM sent with brochure on Duplicating Films.

No real answers on perforations, but a lot of good info...

I've changed your thread title.
Unless my eyes fail me, that label is for 2468, not 2462 microfilm.

Any chance that is in pdf form, and small enough to be shared here?

Yes, I made a typo in the title, oops.

And yes, I have seen that PDF, unfortunately that doesn’t help answer my question.

Not exactly the same, but here it is:

My interpretation of that is that only the 100-ft. rolls (Sp.663) are perforated.

I would agree.
The pictured catalog number doesn't have "perf" as part of the description:

And thanks for posting that Kino.

An Unknown Positive Microfilm — Aperture Preview

As film prices have risen recently, people have been looking for cheaper alternatives of film to choose from. Closely resembling Kodak 2468, this stock was found without markings of any sort in a bulk loader. This is the experimentation of an unknown microfilm and the goal to get an image to show.

Damn. Might reach out to Svema to see if they can perf it, buuut I think this idea is dead. Oh well…

typically Microfilm is used unperfed. (more image area that way!) {in a past life I must have shot 30,000 feet of the stuff in 16mm.}

Out of curiosity, has anyone actually shot this film? Do you know if it degrades poorly with age? I have been told reversal film may age differently than many other ultra-low speed film.
