Who are the Players?

[dickie vaara]

Looking for names of suppliers/manufacturers who still make 70mm film. I know Kodak has the Portra series, and I think Efke makes some.
I have a Pentax 645 with a mint 70mm back for it, and wonder if I should pursue the film or simply consider the back a museum piece.

Thanks,

I think you've already named them!

 

[Q.G.]

Is Portra available in 70 mm rolls?

Agfa Aviphot Color N 400 70mm DP (Type I) x 366m

Agfa Aviphot Color X 100 (maskless) 70mm DP (Type II?) x 30.5m

QG: B&H lists unperforated Portra 160NC available on special order. Two kinds of reels.

Developing it OTOH could be interesting.

Thanks.
Developing it (or rather: having it developed) would be the minor problem.
I need Type II.

Who is using unperforated 70 mm film that they discontinue the perforated version, yet keep the unperforated?

There are a couple labs near Charlotte, NC that still advertise 70mm processing, and cater to school photographers. One is United Promotions Dead Link Removed and the other is Academy Productions Dead Link Removed. I've never used either (I don't have a 70mm back). The links above are to their price lists; Academy also sells 70mm film, apparently.
