Walter West Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hi guys, I'm new to film-making and just purchased an SRII and wanted to know what size (in diameter) film core would I need for the take up side of the magazine when shooting 400' rolls. I just purchased a 3" diameter film core, would that be okay? Thanks, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted September 21, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 21, 2017 Sadly, you need a 2" core for a film camera with 400ft magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted September 22, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted September 22, 2017 Many SR mags have a collapsible core on the take-up, which is about the size of a 2" core. If your mag has a core adapter instead then you need a 2" core. This thread has a detailed and excellent description of loading an SR which may be helpful to you: http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=119 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
