16mm Double-X movie film (B&W negatives, ASA200) is still easily available from Kodak in various rolls (100, 200, 400 foot lengths) and is a wonderful film to use with Minolta 16 cameras. A 20 exposure roll of film for these cameras is 22 inches of film, so a 100' roll makes about 55 rolls of film for about $25.
Kodak info: http://www.motion.kodak.com/US/en/motion/Products/Production/Black_And_White_Films/5222.htm vendor for purchasing: http://www.tapesuperstore.com/72blwhne200t1.html Shipping a camera to Serbia ... International Priority Mail in a small flat rate box runs about $15, so $35 for camera and cassette. I have a 100' roll of Double X in the freezer too ... it's long out of date, but frozen since I bought it a decade ago. Still fine for the purpose, I'm sure. That'll cost you another $10 and it will fit in the same package with camera and cassette. $45 for the whole deal.
