Zac Fettig Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Probably have to load it yourself. Kodak only does 200' loads for the A-Minima, which is A-wind. And don't give the engineers too much credit. Pretty much all the books on tribology written came out after this camera was already out of production. They probably just grabbed a common lube, tested it, and said "good enough!" Just try and find something roughly the same viscosity (thickness). Modern stuff will lubricate WAY better.

Mark Dunn Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) The Minima load is on a core though, not a daylight spool. The 200 and 400' spool loads may still be listed for some stocks as special-order minimum quantity items in long-perf for high-speed cameras, but if you're not printing that's no problem at 24fps. Bear in mind if you wind down single-perf you'll have to do it twice to get the perfs back on the correct side of the film.

I did some further checking and the updated Kodak Motion Picture Products list has this: 456 16 16 mm–1 Edge R-190 200-ft spool B none with notes listed as "none" , so it doesn't specify for A-Minima . .

Zac Fettig Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Kodak still has that as part of their specs. They're not offering any film in that spec though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's irritating . <_< If they have it printed on their current Products list then the remarks should clearly say DISCONTINUED or UNAVAILABLE , instead of "none" .

Zac Fettig Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 It's not a current product offering. It's just a chart telling you how to read the Specification (SP) Number on the can. The list all the specs so you can use the chart to identify any film you have lying around. The product offerings start on page 14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
