Maybe Spectra can order some up, and then ship it to you? It would actually be rather easy for them to do this-- they can just run down to the Hollywood distribution center and pick anything up for you, and then send it on its way to Ireland. Or even have it delivered to them. Hollywood has everything in stock-- but remember, there are some minimum quantities on most double-perf. I think your best bet would be the acetate b/w print film. It's cheaper too, and I don't think there's a minimum. That and some of the other b/w lab stocks will soon be history, I fear, so stock up. B/w print film can also be reversed to produce a projectable image, just like Tri-X. It has a low ASA though. Kodak used to supply an acetate sound film but I believe it was recently discontinued, with Estar the only alternative. Their high-contrast titling film is good also, and useful for many purposes. BTW, do you know the pitch of your high-speed camera? You might be in luck-- many of them are .3000. In a message dated 1/23/2012 3:22:14 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, z...@sonic.net writes:
Hi Nikolas, That's amazingly comprehensive. Thanks! I'm looking for double perf 16mm to use as is with a high speed 16mm camera - nothing to do with 8mm, I should have specified that. For anyone else who's interested, it looks like Spectra in the US have some, though only rolls of 100ft, colour and b/w. As you said. Kodak in the UK seem to have nothing to do with the US distributors, and Fuji was the same - nothing to be had and neither were very helpful. Thanks!
