Tri-X in 70mm, 620 and 16mm.

Just a heads up; I went to order some Tri-X in 35mm and saw B&H's ad for 620 in stock and 70mm by special order. The 70mm is $142 for 100 ft. Kind of tempting when I have 3 Kodak Monitor cameras in my drawer that I believe the film will fit. Where do you get paper tho? I've got the spools. The 16mm film is Tri-X reversal film and comes in a 100ft roll for the current price of $26 and it's in stock.

Paper? For the 620? Don't you just save 120 paper?

70mm doesn't use paper. Unless you mean for 116 [I think that's right] No idea for paper outside of finding some old rolls in cameras.

You get the paper from old rolls of 116 or 616 film. You treat it like it was gold, or precious silk.

I have a 100' roll of 70mm Tri-X I got on eBay, it makes luscious 616 negatives in my Monitor Six-16.

The 620 at B&H is from a third party who uses a lathe to turn down a 120 spool to have thin flanges, with the film on it. Not hard if you have the right tools.

The 70mm minimum order is 36 rolls. Unfortunately for me, it is not perforated either.

Yea I guess the minimum qty would shoot that idea; Didn't see that. Too bad.

EFKE in the past has cut 70mm. If Fotoimpex could get them to do it again I'm sure enough people would be willing to at least consider ordering. It's unperforated so no good for some MF backs but fine for 116/616 or Graflex backs.
