Where can I find this.... 16mm film RESULTS POSTED

Cheers Richard.... Well it most certainly is OOD :D

I have many subminiatures which use 16mm film.

Upto press I've either done a "one shot" exposure by loading a piece of sheet film cut to size or messed around cutting 35mm film down and rolling onto the original spools....patience needed (lots of it!!) but it is possible.

Looking at picking up 16mm film to try make life a tad easier ....load up with a a suitable length of backing paper and all theoretically will be good.

Neg film or reversal is irrelevant as will simply dev in b&w chems and PP where necessary.

I've shot 126 film cartridges with a similar expiry date to this listing and had some useable results.....very 60's looking tbh, so could well be tempted by this roll of film.

I like my experiments....guess I lost my way to being a mad professor :nuts: :D

:lol: I'm "experimenting" at this very moment...surrounded by LF gear, having a "dry run" for a shot i hope to get this evening.

Saw the scene yesterday, noted the time for the light etc and hope to get similar light later today.

It's gunna take ND filters get the result as the camera has a non operational shutter, so it's gunna be a 2 seconds plus "lens cap" exposure.

Presently playing around with blue tac as a way of holding the filter in place infront of the brass lens barrel and an elastic band to hold a lens cap over the filter......Why don't I just go with the FE and be done??.....Cos I'm MAD :D
 
Try here, they stock pretty much every motion film stock from Super 8 to 16mm to 35mm:

Colour reversal is now completely discontinued unfortunately as Kodak has pulled their offering which was the last one, you can still get B&W Tri-X reversal though which can be easily processed as reversal using the appropriate chemicals although Kodak don't provide negative processing times, you want Double-X which is negative film (https://www.stanleysonline.co.uk/product-3726.htm).
Don't try developing motion colour negative film in C-41, it uses the ECN-2 process which has large differences in the developer, you'll get a result but it will be very much inferior than in the proper ECN-2 chemicals.
 
Thanks Samuel, I llok further into those links tomorrow when I have more time.

Much appreciated :thumbs:
 
To update on this thread:

I took a gamble and plunged for the Kodak Tri-X reversal film that Richard (Medwaygreen) found on fleabay ( Post 2)

Cut some backing paper to suit and spooled a length of film long enough for 6 frames in one of my Coronet Midget cameras.

Shot it as 100 iso in varying light ranging from EV 12 to 15 and hoped for the best.

Well just semi stood devd it in rodinal for an hour and got 5 images.

Have to confess i'm very impressed to have got anything given the dev before date on the box is Aug 1964 !!!

I'll post the results as soon as i get a chance to do the scans.
 
As promised here are the results.

Pretty much the quality I expected tbh given the camera and age of film (dev before aug 1964), not that I was after anything spectacular ....simply a bit of fun!

Here's the camera used:

Coronet Midget c.1932

The black imprinted figures across the first two shots are holes punched through the film which I wasn't aware would be there...presumably they will just be on the film leader?

They are subminiatures.....came in different colours back in the '30's so ladies could match them to their outfits.

Some info here
 
Nice one, I've always wondered what sort of images those Midgets could produce.
