Todd Pinder Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Ebay, find a very old expired emulsion of your choice. Of course cheapest is the most important! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted July 3, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted July 3, 2019 First off, ya don't need 400ft to practice. None of the 16mm cameras have any "got ya's" with 400ft of film. I always do dummy testing with a little 50ft load because you want to run the camera when you do it and if you have 400ft of film, you should roll it all the way through or risk scratching/damaging it on rewind. So we always test with 50 - 100ft and that works the best. The other neat trick is to use double perf stock, so you don't have to rewind after use. I sadly don't have any spare double perf right now, people have gobbled it all up over the years. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
