Unless someone knows for sure, who is behind it, I would stay away. It's not fake to my knowledge, it's a fellow on Facebook named Jamie Welton, https://www.facebook.com/groups/2248960670/user/650315100/ This camera is also listed by him on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364755545778?itmmeta=01HR0NS4Z0VZ3XV17HNVVFVQZ3&hash=item54ed1feeb2:g:B~IAAOSwXPpl3OoS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allison Copp Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 @Tyler Purcell I don't mind the standard look myself but it seems the only 400' rolls I can find are single perf or 500T. Am I stuck with 100' rolls for 50D or 250D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If having one of the really old cameras which needs 2R film then it it different but I would try to avoid them the best I can, they make life difficult without any benefit to the end result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I gotta get to testing. Would save me money til I get a S16 conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2R film was most common before 60's, especially before about 1954 or so. For example Bolexes from the 50's already have 1R versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for correcting me! The only modern 16mm. cameras that must have 2R stock are medium-and high-speed, or should I say were, as all that is digital now. The only person to use 35mm. high-speed in the last decade or so has been Christopher Nolan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I stuck with 100' rolls for 50D or 250D? Are you saying you cant find double perf rolls that arent 500T? cause single perf 16mm is available in 50d, 200t, 250d, 500t and ektachrome without issue, as well as B&W. you can order direct from kodak (which usually means calling them, they dont sell online), cinestill stocks 16mm and for a little while was willing to ship 400ft rolls. theres also frame24 in the UK, who tend to be a little cheaper even with shipping to the US (still not sure why, but I've never had any xray damage or anything from them). B&H also sells 16mm in the US, but they mark things up so much the only way that makes sense is if you have a student account with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just loaded a 1R roll of 250D with success. I had called Kodak looking naively for 2R film and all they had was 500T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
