Film Camaras using 70mm: do they exist?
Film Cameras using 70mm: do they exist? One would think that the IMAX corp
could offer some kind of cheap 70mm camera (under 40 USD) that could take 70mm pictures. Yet, this is not the case. |

Yet, this is not the case. There have been many still cameras that used 70mm. There were, for example, 70mm. backs for the Graflex XL and for Linhofs (some can be used with any standard grafloc 4x5 back). |

One would think that the IMAX corp could offer some kind of cheap 70mm camera (under 40 USD) that could take 70mm pictures. Yet, this is not the case. Many existed. Some, like the Linhof Aerotronika used a 100' roll. Others like the Linhof AerTechnika 23 used a 50' rool on a NATO modified spool. None were under $40.00. Most were over $4000.00. One proble, should you find a 70mm camera is the small amount of film available. Then the processing equipment required. And 70mm perforated film and 70mm non perforated are different. And aerial film requires different processing then non aerial emulsions. Lastly there are 70mm movie camera and film which require different processing again. And what are 70mm pictures in your mind? -- To reply no_ HPMarketing Corp. |

Did not Hasselblad supply 70mm backs for their camerae? Perhaps they still do. -- .~.

I'm pretty sure my old Kodak No. 2A Folding Cartridge Hawk-Eye would take 70mm, which is the same width* as the 616 film this camera was made for. I'd love to get some to try it out, without having to buy a 100' roll or whatever. But I'm curious: what would lead you to believe that Imax would be interested in making a $40 camera? Just to use up surpluses of Imax film? * Not exactly the same width, but near enough to be never mind. -- I think someone should unplug the entire Internet and let us start all over again.

I have a 70mm back for my Pentax 645, and I've gotten very good results using Agfa Aviphot N400 with standard C-41 processing. That being said, the pickings for fresh 70mm perforated film have gotten very slim indeed. -- Michael Benveniste -- Spam and UCE professionally evaluated for $419.

Hassleblad supplied not only a back, but also the cameras that the astronauts used to document their trips. all in 70mm. there's a book out now that showcases the work done by the apollo astronauts. it is very good viewing. i forget the name though! some of the images are incredibly long panos that are stitched together. remarkable stuff. |
