Site Sponsor Robert Houllahan Posted September 27, 2007 Site Sponsor Share Posted September 27, 2007 Hi- Does anybody really know what the current state of double perf 16mm is? Is anyone able to still get it from kodak (or anywhere else) without a large special order? Both Kodak and Fuji have certain stocks available in double perf i.e. 7231 80iso B+W negative is available in either but 7222 200iso B+W negative is only available in single perf right now. Check the Kodak catalog for which stocks are available, Fuji recently made a number of their 16mm stocks available in either single or double where all of them were single perf just a while ago. -Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor M Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) Hi- Does anybody really know what the current state of double perf 16mm is? Is anyone able to still get it from kodak (or anywhere else) without a large special order? Here in Argentina the local Fuji representative www.ultravision.com.ar has double perf negative stock in all ASAs, D and T. In fact double perf is the only stock I use, today i called them and they have plenty of it. Kodak only under special request so i never used it.

Jim Carlile Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Most of the Kodak special orders involve an 18 roll minimum. A few one-roll stocks are available. The last time I looked, double-perf was only supplied in-- I believe-- Plus-X and VISION2 500T-- as one-roll minimums. Most of this was for 100 foot spools too, a few 400 foot cores were available, as I remember. Other stocks were available at higher minimums-- but no b/w negative. But b/w reversal can be processed as negative if desired... but as to results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dunn Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Correct me if I'm wrong but surely the only reason to use double perf is for high-speed. (Although we would have saved some money if we'd used it at film school and been able to flop a shot instead of paying for an optical). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Neary Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi- It's not just high-speed- there are piles of neat old cameras (maybe antique is a better description!) that require 2-perf. Mitchells, Cine-Kodaks, older Bolexes and Filmos, it's a long list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
