70mm Film FUN up ahead

Efke 100 70mm Unperforated 100 feet fresh by Nokton48, on Flickr

Here is a roll of unperforated Efke 100 film I bought on a close-out from J&C. B&H and Freestyle were also selling this film at one time. Freshly outdated and Efke was dumping it.

Efke 100 is absolutely one of my favorite films, especially when developed in PMK+ Developer. It has a delicious tonality. This will be rolling through the Makiflexes in the Beatty Coleman backs this year. 🙂

You could keep the cartridges and then resell the back 🙄

I like Roberts; they are a good shop 🙂 Offer $45

I think I have enough cassettes for now.

Yep, Roberts is where I first look then KEH. Roberts is where I got my Leica R-E in almost unused condition. They just gave it away. Warranty too.

These are really good negs from the RB67. This is 70mm Rollei 400s stand developed in Rodinal? I may have to try that. 🙂

Thanks! I got lucky I think.

I tried this:

and really liked the results. Only difference was I used Kodafix. Everything else I followed to the letter. Shot the Rollei at 200iso. I'll try this method a few more times to see if I like it--I do, but want to make sure this wasn't one time luck 😉

Right now I'm testing the C41 B+W that was selling here, eBay, and at Photrio. Got a couple of rolls for a great price. I like XP2 so we 'll see how this stuff does. Edit: Looks like that guy finally sold off his massive stash of 70mm film--down to $39 a roll.
 
Beatty Coleman Back #2 by Nokton48, on Flickr

Beatty Coleman Transet 70mm Graflock Back #2. I think this one will clean up nicely. I could use some extra film spools. They are specially designed for these. Each back came with four spools originally. Of course the extras are not included with mine.

Since this back does not use Kodak 70mm cassettes, it has to be loaded and unloaded in total darkness. Not a problem for me.
 
Spools Beatty Coleman Transet #2 by Nokton48, on Flickr

These are the spools out of Transet 70mm Back #2. The original Beatty one is marked "ANSCO, BINGHAMTON, NEW YORK, MADE IN USA". The yellow one is a generic 70mm plastic inner 70mm film core, which will work as a takeup spool ok. It has a slot and the film can be taped to it in the dark.

My plan with this is to shoot 20 exposures and then unload it in the dark onto a 220 JOBO reel for Mutitank 6 rotary development.

From the RB67 and 90mm KL with the RH50 Graflex back. Expired Portra 400NC. I'm glad I bought 400' of this stuff.



 
Yes Marty I have seen that. But high speed film does usually not age well.
Thanks for your contribution! Do you slit it down to fit 616?

This may be of interest to some here.
 
Ive been very busy with university applications, deadlines, shooting the prospectus for my college and a much earned holiday to tenerife! Still havent got myself a A70 - nearly got one before I left but ended up scoring a haul of 120!

However my local lab have just got a JOBO ATL 2500 they are getting up and running and contacted them on facebook and they may be open to running 70mm for me using my tank! Its very early stages atm and am waiting for a reply to my email with full details but I think theres promise there!

I bought 200 ft of expired Kodak Portra 400BW and wished I had bought more especially when the seller dropped it to $39 per roll!
