Just to clarify a few points (I play with movie film a bit)
1) Movie film numbers starting with 5 are 35mm, starting with 7 are 16mm.
2) Movie film is generally supplied on a 2 inch core. As someone said, sticking a saved 1 inch core will make an adaptor for your bulk loader. The last roll of Fomapan 100 bulk film I got from Freestyle was on a 2 inch core.
3) 100ft lenghts are often put on what is called an S-83 spool. it holds 100ft and had a 1/4 inch square hole, and should fit most bulk loaders, this is sometimes called "the eyemo spool" as it does fit the B&H Eyemo hand held 35mm camera. The eyemo is tough enough to survive a few crashes!
4) any of the colour negative Movie films will have the REM-JET back, and are made for Process ECN-2
5) 5222 and 5231 are B&W films.
6) the ektachrome 100D should be process E-6. The video news film was mostly made in 16mm, but the VNF process is no longer suported.
7) it has been a long time since Dale Labs sold Movie film, but I understand they still will process it, on a once weekly special order basis.
8) Movie camera film has B&H perforations as opposed to the KS perforations found on still film, and movie print film. This should not cause any problems with most still cameras. the difference is the B&H perfs have rounded ends.
have fun
