Re: Lost Info

Hi Chuck,

Film for Classics in NY state is the place I know. They sell both sizes of film. including Chrome in the 127 format!
http://www.filmforclassics.com/

I just discovered also that Central Camera in Chicago also sells odd-format rollfilm (likely in association with Film for Classics and the chaps who import the Efke film from Central Europe.

It seems that Freestyle also sells 127 format film
http://www.freestylephoto.biz/e_main.php

I have not purchased from any of the above. Apparently, Freestyle is cheaper than both of the above (read Scott's Photographica Collection: Using Vintage Ansco Roll Film Cameras
http://www.vintagephoto.tv/anscofilmtable.shtml

On my 116 camera, I use 120 film which is fitted to the camera size by adjusting the length of the 120 spools with little extensions made from 116 spools (can't recall if 620 works the same). These extensions are fitted into the slot on each end of the spool, as if they were the holders of the camera itself. Check the page from the Flying Pinhole web site at
http://www3.sympatico.ca/guy.glorieux/fp03.htm

Of course, the camera image frame is larger than the film and there is some curling at the edges. If you're using a pinhole camera, then this is not a problem and you end up having an image that extends into the numbering of the film (cool). If your'e shooting lens, then you'll need to manufacture some kind of gizmo to keep the edges straight. The image on 120 will give you a panoramic-type image.

Film for Classics will also process your odd-format film and/or will spool fresh film on existing spools.

Best,

Guy Glorieux
