Vernon Rudolph Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 It has been hard to find 16mm double perforated film stock to use with an Arriflex SR-1. Does anyone have recommendations for a double perf color negative and a processing lab that will still process double perf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your control panel, you should change your display name to your full first and last name. It's a forum rule and was in the stuff you read to register. I'm pretty sure you can still get 2R stock. It's just that many retailers don't stock it. On Kodak's website you can find the motion picture division rep for your area. I would call him/her. They are usually extremely helpful. If you're looking for fuji stocks I'm sure they have a similar system. Edited September 11, 2008 by Chris Keth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Rudolph Posted September 11, 2008 Author Share Posted September 11, 2008 Oops. Thanks for the advice. I'm off to call kodak, after I re-read the rules and regs :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has always been that way from the 1st SR-1 made. Same with all Arri 16mm cameras from the 50's forward. All labs process single or double perf, no problem there. I'm curious as to why you would want double perf in this day and age. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie My buddy suggested that I use his SR-1 for a project coming up but mentioned that it was set for double perf. I haven't shot 16mm in years so I just went with it. That is the only reason I was looking into double perforated stock. I would be more than happy to find out that his camera is single perf after all.

Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted September 11, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted September 11, 2008 Take the mag off of the back and inch the film forward. . . chances are you'll only see 1 claw. To be totally safe, load some dummy film in that's 1R and see if it goes through; but as mentioned all the SRs should be 1R. I've never heard of/seen a 2R SR, unless it's some strange high-speed version I'm not aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tim Carroll Posted September 12, 2008 Premium Member Share Posted September 12, 2008 Vernon, All Arriflex 16SR cameras are single perf. They never made a double perf Arriflex 16SR. I service those cameras and the way they are designed, you couldn't get a second pulldown claw and registration pin in there even if you wanted to. No worries with an Arriflex 16SR and single perf film. Best, -Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
