Large format roll film

[razzledog]

I recently came across a very large format roll film back...something like 6x6 inch frame size, (maybe from an aerial camera?) Does anyone know of a film stock that would suit? The film back could also be from a 'red light' camera typical of those we have installed at many intersections all over Australia. It sure would be nice if this film was readily available? I asked a cop, but he didn't know....

You need to look for aerial film, I was given two 8" rolls 3 years ago to cut up & use in a 10x8 camera. It should still be available from a variety of manufacturers, Agfa certainly it was the only division still coating film.

The traffic cameras would be using 35mm film, so that's no good to you.

Hasn't Agfa has gone south for the winter?

Not the aerial film plant.

Try a google search for cirkut film. I took a quick peek and it looks like it might still be available in various sizes. The cirkut camera I had took 8"x4' panorama negs. Sadly it no longer exists even though I still have rolls of seriously out dated film for it.
