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.

Does IMAX make anything that's cheap? )

70mm cameras - Hasselblad, Mamiya, Linhof all take 70mm backs. Then, of
course, there is the (now very rare) Graflex Combat KE-4 (KS-6 as a kit).

Unfortunately, double-perf 70mm film is becoming hard to find.

Here's one KS-6 kit. Serial #7. Never used. Make an offer.

Hasselblad and Linhof made their own 70mm backs. I really don't know of any
aftermarket 70mm backs. (120 is not 70mm, btw)

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.

All true. FWIW, there is a wonderful lab in Florida that processes all kinds
of 70mm double-perf film. B&W processing is $1 a foot. But it's all by the
aerial photo processing specs. Zonies will be very unhappy.

Kodak quit making their 70mm double-perf film, and remaining unexpired stock
is very expensive. But they still make 9" roll film.

Could you pls. explain this more in detail?

Aerial film in general has more sensitivity in the deep-red, near infra-red.
It also has a different base, usually Estar(tm). Kodak's Plus-X Aerographic
2402, for example, is easily adapted to land work, and can be developed
nicely in conventional developers like D76, HC-110, Rodinal, any of them.

70mm Type II perf (double-perf) is dimentionally different from non-perf and
the later cannot be used in perf-2 type backs.

And as mentioned by others, Type II perf is getting very hard to find.

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

They are dirt-cheap on that auction site. Can't get film anymore.

BTW, my friends. Not only is Mr. Salomon the Linhof (HP Marketing) man, but
I'm pretty sure he's a former military photo-recon specialist. Correct, Bob?

There were after market 70mm unperf backs with motors for the RB-67 and
Hasselblad and perhaps others--the name Hawk comes to mind. There were
also school portrait camera systems that used 70mm unperf, even a few
that used 90mm film. Camerz, Nord, and a couple of others. I even seem
to recall a 70mm point-and-shoot from the days when surplus 70mm was
really cheap, but no details and it may never have launched.
