MCB's microfilm thread

[MCB18]

I have way too much of this stuff now, lol. Thought I’d make myself a place to share, and I guess other folks can chip in too.

Today I got in the mail some Imagelink HQ film, with perfs! Rolled up a spool and am planning on playing around with it tomorrow.

I also have a roll of 2465 in the wings ready development. I also have to cut a whole bunch of it to 4x5 and 120, so tomorrow is probably gonna be kinda busy…

Anyway, enjoy the ultra-purple of Imagelink HQ!

Hmmmmm, so I was doing some poking around, and what do you know, this stuff has the exact same spectral sensitivity as CMS 20 II, or at least it’s super close. That should actually give me a nice comparison, which is really nice to have considering some films I’ve bought have zero images posted online lol.

I have a ton of 16mm microfilm. Something like 3000 feet. Most of it is Fuji but I have some Agfa too. And Kodak. I also have a roll of 5" Fuji in the freezer. One of these days...

I've had decent success using the 16mm in 110 cameras for fun during the pandemic. Haven't used any in a while though. It is kind of a pain to reload 110 cartridges and use them.

Where did you find the perforated rolls?

Ooo what kind of 105mm Fuji? Sounds fun!

Happened to find someone online that has a bunch, if this stuff gives me good results I plan on buying a bunch of them and selling bulk rolls and 36 exposure rolls.

I used microfilm in 16mm and 110 cameras. I also put some through a Crown Graphic for ultra pano. It needed some oddball development in rodinal but it looked pretty good. Scratched really easily. I think it was HQ link.

This is HQ link put through a MTL3, for a nice little pano. I found the Prak one of the cameras that allows this kind of thing.
