Cailin Tamplin Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Kodak should reintroduce 200' rolls of 16mm film to meet the demand of the thriving 16mm film community. Many camera magazines are already designed to handle this length, benefiting dedicated users of cameras like Aaton, Beaulieu, and Eclair, with the A-minima being built specifically for 200' rolls. This extension of an existing line would be a win-win solution, offering a balanced runtime of approximately 5 minutes and 30 seconds, reducing magazine reloads, and enhancing versatility for filmmakers. https://www.change.org/p/kodak-to-re-release-200-rolls-of-16mm-film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Phillips Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 the thing is, you gotta remember that bringing back a 200ft load may not make sense due to the differences in all these cameras. some are double perf. the a-minima uses a different winding and its old factory loads are not compatible with any other camera without unspooling and respooling in a dark room. And the main cameras that are being used on features are all 400ft mag cameras, and those users are buying the bulk of 16. I think from Kodak's standpoint, it makes much more sense to leave it to owners and renters to take their rolls to a lab for spool down rather than make it themselves. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
