For those overly interested in lab history in the late 70s, I just stumbled

The price lists or the surf movies?
Nothing like a Bolex attached to a 6-foot PVC plumbing pipe with an
Aero-Ektar at the end for that razor-sharp look

The prices went up 100% and only dropped 50% after the bubble burst.
Lower silver content happened later — but when I look at older B&W reversal

Or you could do what we did — “cull” your origin
I don't remember the silver bubble having a huge effect on film stocks
other than the prices... but I do remember that Kodabromide, a wonderful
printing paper with a lovely grey scale and deep blacks, along with shadow
detail that you could fall into... dropped off the Kodak catalogue because

Anscochrome was Agfachrome in disguise. What with the war and all, the
German parent split their US division apart and Ansco was what was left
in the US. They stuck around for a good while. Agfa themselves was
making their ball-and-chain-dye coupler film in Germany well into the
1980s and some f
Color negative in 16mm was used in Europe, especially the UK, before it caught
on in the US. The stock from 1968 - 1973 — 7254/5254, the last of the ECN-1
stocks, was quite lovely. Kodak replaced it with the hideous 7247/5247, and
really pushed 16mm “producers” to switch to it because it was m

Hmm. If we distinguish 'amateu
The best that I have found is "A Technological History of Motion Pictures
and Television" by Fielding. It begins at the beginning and ends with the
cathode ray tube. Not 16mm in particular but the best book of film
technology that I have seen.

Hi Kim,
I'd suggest Katelle's "Home Movies: A History of the American Industry,
1897 1979" and Tepperman's "Amateur Cinema: The Rise of North American
Moviemaking, 1923-1960". There are also a few other titles I'm not
familiar with listed on the CHM site:

Hi Kim, Duncan Reekie's *Subversion: The Definitive History of Underground
Cinema* has a good amount of information on this subject.

Hi there Frameworkers,
I wonder if anyone can help: I'm writing about the use of 16mm in experimental
filmmaking of the 1970s and am looking for texts that deal with the history of
film technology. Not technical manuals necessarily but scholarly sources -
books or articles that look, for examp
