How about Foma in the Czech Republic? Tey sell their Fomapan R100 B&W reversal DS8 film in 100 ft rolls. May be you could make a deal with that people. The price can be by far cheaper than Kodak ones. An it´s another filmstock to add. :P The perforator really seems like a good direction to g...

I seldom shoot Tri-X, and I wasn't as happy with the grain or the contrast the few times I've used it. I won't rule out user error though. What it the old emultion or new? I think the new stock is a big improvement. Old 7278. I haven't shot the new 7266. Well, I did shoot a cart of the new stuff, b...

I don't, but someone is going to ask you what kind of film you want developed. b&w? E-6? Kodachrome? VNF? etc.

Tri-X processing? Angus and/or Monobath should know... And ++christoph, and ccortez, and chachi, ... etc. There are a number of people on this forum who process their own film. The best source of information is available on Kodak's web site. Go to Kodak H-24 Processing Modules and download module 1...

They are not readily available, so it's hard to say. The used ones I've seen are also typically very large, on the order of 8 to 12 feet long.

Plus-X isn't grainy when properly exposed and developed, and the tonality is pleasing. The old 7276 and the new 7265 Plus-X yield equivalent results when processed in the older D-94 / R-9 / D-95 process. I haven't tried the faster speed D-94A / R-10 / D-95 process. Plus-X and Fomapan are both lovely...

That's a very nice design, peaceman. I recall you posted this once before, but none of your text was translated into English at the time.

What volume of each solution is required, and how do you agitate?

To create some perspective, The SuperMag price quote works out to 1.50 a foot if the 35mm film makes 3 strips of Super-8 film, 2.00 a foot if the 35mm film makes 4 strips of Super-8 film. That doesn't seem all that relevant, Alex, unless I'm missing the point. Kodak isn't selling the Super 8-perfed...

John Philip Sousa (de Sousa). The sousaphone (a type of tuba) is named after him.

I played concert tuba in my high school band, and the sousaphone in my high school's marching band. Talk about heavy metal.

Ru-Shop has them listed for 50 GBP right now on Ebay. 17.50 GPB shipping. Three available, all brand new. However, the same guy and a few others sometimes lists them on US ebay in dollars, usually for a bit less starting bid, but higher shipping. I don't normally post anything about ongoing auctions...

They're not as rare as all that. The big 16/35 tank for 100 foot loads is rare, but the 8/16/35 for 50 foot film is pretty common. Most of them on Ebay are being shipped from Russia, and that does add quite a bit to their cost. But it shouldn't cost you $250 for the tank, even with shipping. More li...
