hasselblad 70mm
you know...I've tried just about every hasselblad option there is...BUT the 70mm film back...I have an opportunity to get one and was wondering if anybody uses these things---what kind of film will it take? for instance, can I use 70mm movie film or 65mm movie film? I think 65mm is readily available...I see no problem with that working unless there's a special width that the film must be or if it must be perforated a certain way? anybody try different film and KNOW from experience what works or what is needed to be done to MAKE it work?

70mm film is no longer widely available or easily obtainable. That doesn't mean you can't find it. I'm not sure of all the specifics, but others will comment. 70mm was available when school picture outfits used long-roll cameras to photograph kids, but those days are over.

right, but I was thinking of the movie film that is readily available...I think it's 65mm though, but you can get long rolls of it---that 70mm stuff was perforated orginaally???? I don't know I'm thinking the 65mm shold work if there's no special perforations it "needs" for the mechanism to work properly.....
I'm sure someone that owns one of these knows what works...just now WHO owns one???

As pgomena stated in post 2, it is hard to get the film and it must have the proper size and location sprocket holes. In short, an awful lot of work. I know; I wanted to buy and use one also. Processing long lengths can also be a problem.
You might want to by it as a collector's item or a paperweight.

Actually, I just got the film in a batch of stuff two days ago. I was considering getting a 70mm back...nah. I've got too much Hasselblad stuff already!

This does not compute! Oxymoron! Contradiction in terms!
Please correct this statement immediately!

I know, it felt wrong even as I was typing it.
