Thanks for all your input, guys! Any recommendation for some decent reversal spools? What's the best kind to get? There are different ones on the Kodak site: KODAK 7265 PLUS-X KODAK 7266 TRI-X EASTMAN 7276 PLUS-X EASTMAN 7278 TRI-X I'm really not sure which one to get - if any of you have some experience with these types of films, any recommendation?

Now when you say 'daylight' loads, that means I can just take the film out and load it in broad daylight? Or, does the light have to be dimmed? I'm also guessing that I have to completely load the film that comes in these Kodak packages onto the Kras-3 spool, right? Thanks for all the help, guys - this place is awesome! Also, Aaron - we share cat avatars! :D At any rate, when you say: This means that I can, let's say, shoot 100ft of reversal film, then take that film out and put it on a projector? To be honest, the 'scratchy' look is something I'm going for. The film in question that I'm making as a virgin filmmaker is about 5 minutes, and something I'm doing for fun (plus perhaps it will help in my film school pursuit). I have saved money for this purpose (well, not a great deal), and would like the easiest, best looking final product I can master with my Kras-3 and projector. Editing is another question, but I'll post that query in the appropriate forum when the time comes. :)

Thanks for the replies, guys. That helps a great deal - I guess my best bet is to juse use B&W Negative (something like EASTMAN PLUS-X 7231). I have another quick question that's, again, kind of dumb. But - first, where is a good place to buy this type of film online? I was checking out B&H Audio/Video, and all they have is B&W Reversal film. Also, I'm curious as to the format the film comes in. Is it rolled already? I assume that I have to load this film into the circular spools that come with my Kras-3 in total darkness? This seems like the biggest hurdle to master! Thanks so much, A

Hey, all. I'm new here, and I feel like an idiot in comparison to many of you. Even so, I'd like to start off by saying how great this website is - I stumbled on it by complete accident looking for help with my Kras-3 I recently purchased. To be honest, I've fooled around plenty in the digital realm, and want to 'upgrade' into film. I've done lots of reading about light, how the Kras-3 works, etc., and I'm ready to start shooting. The only problem is, I have no clue what kind of film to buy, if I can load this myself, or if I have to physically take the camera to get the film processed. After looking at Kodak's site, I found this listing of various Kodak 16mm film: http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/16mm/pro...0.1.4.5.8&lc=en You can see that it's divided into two sections - reversal and negative. I understand what negative film is, but what about reversal? this is the first time I've ever heard of this, and from what I read on their site, it has to do with the processing? In any case, I want to start shooting asap, but I'm too afraid to risk buying the wrong film, and/or processing it wrong. Processing price isn't an option, so I'm just really looking for the correct combination so that I can load/shoot/process, then see something on a projector with ease. This is possible, no? Please help! Thanks so much, A
