Michael Carter Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I have some 7302 print film that is 2R. What other films can I buy new that are 2R? I couldn't find any in the catalog. Didn't look too hard though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted October 26, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted October 26, 2018 The only camera film they currently make that's 2R is 7219 500T on special order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webster Colcord Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I didn't realize that it was so hard to find 2R film! Michael, I have some old 2R stock that has been frozen up until recently (and is currently in my fridge). I have 7296, 7297, and 1 100ft roll of 200T. I have been testing the 200T and it seems great. I would trade for some 1R B&W stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Simon Wyss Posted October 27, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted October 27, 2018 All 16mm film stock should be offered 2-r. There are cameras that need it. Mitchell 16, the Geneva Bolex Auto and the early Paillard-Bolex H-16, Zeiss-Ikon Movikon 16, Vitascope Movie Maker, Moveo, Peko, and others. Kodak’s own best camera, the Ciné-Kodak Special, was designed for 2-r. Kodacolor which was centered by the special pins in its gate, hence the name. Long forgotten Projectors used to have double-sided sprocket drums and claws. Why should they be banned from being used? Archival techniques are based on the possiblitiy of using the other hole row, if one is damaged, or any perforation hole not torn. Trick work can be done with two-rows stock, the film is mechanically symmetrical. High-speed cameras transport the film more safely when perforated along both edges. With the regular image picture negatives don’t have to be 1-r. Final argument: from stock perforated both sides Kodak can retain more punch slugs that contain silver . . .
