Kodak and Agfa still make 70mm aerial film.

looked at the kodak site and I couldn't see where it said "70mm"....in any case--would THAT 70mm work in the hasselblad magazine? I see from the kodak site that the film does not look to be perforated---other people here implied that it must be specially perforated

you can get 70mm movie film that is perforated from kodak--this is what I would be buying and using IF it will work with the back

does anybody have the SPECIFICATION for the type of film that the hasselblad back takes perhaps??? Or maybe a SCANNED SAMPLE of the 70mm stuff---or a scanned old negative on this film stock--then I can compare that to the 70mm motion picture film that is available---if it's a match I'm a going to get me one

Look at http://www.hasselbladinfo.com/forum/ and http://www.hasselbladhistorical.eu/ for information on 70mm perforation details. I remember it being discussed on the former several years ago.

kool thanks

I looked at the hasselblad historical and didn't see it before....and that other site is useful too--thanks.
hopefully I get the info I need -- and I LIKE what I hear...

ok--just found out that the hassel mags can be modified with rubber wheels to run non-perforated or other film which has different perforatios than the "type 2" required...but that's a pain...will it work...what about messing up frame spacing...lots of issues guaranteed to burn months of good time and ruin many pics...

the motion picture film avaliable is print film--the camera films are all 65mm

BUT...maybe I can run 65mm through it????? hell--that would be easier to do with a paper 120 backing and tape it on....

oh well....more trouble than it's worth if there ain't no fresh film to be had......

Johnielvis, At the moment on ebay there is a guy offering 9000 ft. of Ektachrome 70mm perforated film

[johnielvis]

thanks but....yes...that's the duplicating film though.....I'm looking for black and white reversal---the camera films for motion picture are 65mm....the release print and duplicating films are 70mm, but not what I'm after

it's way easier, if I were to buy the movie film, to wind my own 120 rolls with old paper backings or 220 rolls--and shoot in a regular magazine back---no sense in making things harder than they have to be, right?
