Karl Lee Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Has anyone been keeping tabs on the availability of 16mm Agfa 200D reversal in the US? This thread hasn't seen any activity since July, so I'm curious if any additional dealers are carrying it now, or if there's a dealer or lab in particular that has the best price for the film stock or a film/processing package. I'd like to give it a try and dust off the 16mm projector :) There was some concern about using this film in certain cameras on account of its Estar base. Are these concerns valid, or have there been few issues so far? I'm just curious if it would be safe to use in an Aaton or Arri SR series camera. Finally, is the 200D primarily sold on 100' daylight spools, or is 400' on core also available? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Pinder Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 dwayensphoto.com for both film & processing, no 400ft though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Bill DiPietra Posted March 4, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted March 4, 2014 That's a nice stock! The color saturation is lovely. The one drawback I see is that it's a bit too grainy for a 200 ASA. Did you use any filtration or push-processing? Some of the shots had a bit of a glow about them, but maybe it was just lens flare.

Matthew B Clark Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 It appears Wittner is sold out of this stock . Does anyone know anywhere that sells it in bulk now??? Don't want to buy dozens of 100' spools from anyone if I can buy bulk and spool down. Also...Estar base going to mess up a K3? I'm not sure I understand why it's so dangerous using Estar base stocks. Pressure on pull-down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Louis Seguin Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Where do you it's sold out? According to their web site, the 1R and 2R are there. Only the package of 2x1200ft seems sold out. Jean-Louis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew B Clark Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 That's what I was referring to. Sorry, I meant that. The bulk rolls. I wanted to get a lot of it and spool it down myself to save budget. I guess they are trimming that option off the radar screen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heikki Repo Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 An example of this film shot with an Eclair ACL. I like the look of this film. [For the mystery problems concerning the camera this was shot with see discussions in Eclair subforum.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gulbrandsen Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 The problem with the ACL in the above post is interesting. I owned an ACL in the early 80's and it had the exact same problem. I had bought it used from a dealer and ended up returning the camera and getting an Arri SR instead. I have since bought another French built Éclair ACL and it does not have this issue. I'd still love to know what causes it. Can someone here point me towards that discussion in the Éclair forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk DeJonghe Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 It looks like light bouncing off the oscillating mirror when the light comes from the front. It seems not like any motor or mechanical issue to me. Is the inside of the camera between the lens and the film gate sufficiently blacked with matte paint, also the sides of the mirror/shutter?

Heikki Repo Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Hi Dirk, the cause for this problem was a light leak from the front of the camera (not filter holder). From a small hole to be precise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk DeJonghe Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Good you found it. An old trick is to make a very small flashlight, just a bulb and a battery with switch, switch it on, lay it inside the camera, and then sit in a darkroom with the camera on your lap for a few minutes. Any light coming out of the camera will show the leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
