CURRENTLY AVAILABLE 35mm FILMS

Some may wonder why 35mm film is listed on a submini web page.  35mm film is used for all half-frame cameras, and is split into 17.5mm format film (for Hit cameras), or slit down to 16mm or smaller for new emulsions not available in those formats.

This is a list of ANY film that currently is available in a 35mm format. Not all of these films are useful for pictorial photographic work; some are extremely high contrast, some require special machines, chemicals or heat for processing, etc. Unless you are familiar with a particluar film, it is best to request a film data sheet from the manufacturer before using the film. Here are some additional points to keep in mind:

*The films that are least likely to be useful to subminiature photographers are those that have extremely low film speeds, are extremely high contrast microfilms, require special processing, are non-panchromatic, have a resin backing or have other obstacles for you to overcome.

*These films come in various types of perforations.  Not all will fit in 35mm cameras.  Some are unperforated, which is fine if you intend to split the film for 17.5mm use.  Others are only available in "Bell & Howell" perforations, which are similar to 35mm "standard" perforations", but will not work in MOST 35mm cameras.  So check with the manufactuer first.

* Resin Backing refers to the special carbon-black anti-halation backing added to many motion picture films. Unlike regular films, this backing must be physically removed during the processing of the film with a rubbing or buffing process. For information on removing this layer during processing, see the Robert Chapman column in the May/June (1996) issue of Photo Techniques.

* Film lengths are not listed.  Ech film comes in different types of film lengths.  In addition, different films and different lengths come on different types of spools and reels. These and other factors may affect your purchasing decision. Film specifics and availability are always subject to change when you least expect it.

* Listed microfilm speeds are estimates when these films are used in pictorial photography. Speeds listed in the manufacturers' literature are based on their intended high-contrast microfilm use. The speed that you actually use will vary greatly depending on the developer used and the contrast index or gamma sought. Check out the Darkroom for special formulas for these films.

* Many of these items are special order items which will be hard to find in sales catalogs and not financially rewarding enough to order for many local sales persons. Locating outlets that specialize in motion picture film and microfilm may prove to be useful. The manufacturers may be able to point you in the right direction.

* Not all chemicals for developing all of these films are available in packaged "kits" for easy mixing. For some processing, you will need to be able to purchase and mix the raw chemicals. Some films require extra special processing, such as heat or ammonia vapors, which can be dangerous. DON'T TRY PROCESSING ANY OF THESE FILMS UNLESS YOU ARE AWARE OF WHAT PRECAUTIONS NEED TO BE TAKEN AND ARE CAPABLE OF TAKING THEM.

* Once you decide on a film, ordering it will be another obstacle. Not every store will be willing or able to order it. First, they'll have to be able to find it in their catalog, a more difficult task than you would think. If it happens to be in a special catalog that they don't have, they can't order it. And since it is not financially rewarding enough for many local sales persons, you may need to "sweeten the pot". Don't be surprised if your local camera store tells you "They don't make that anymore". A more common question is "What do you want that for?" or "What are you going to do with it?". Then they will try to talk you out of using the film that you want and into something that they have "on-hand". They don't know what else to say. Locating outlets that specialize in motion picture film and microfilm may prove to be useful. The manufacturers may be able to point you in the right direction. One place to try is Studio Film and Tape.  They get left over stock from production runs, so they have good prices.  However, their supply on the more unusual films is limited.
800-824-3130 (Hollywood)
800-467-0070 (Chicago)
800-444-9330 (New York).

Another shop to try is Prep Film Services.  While their prices are somewhat higher, they are more likely to have what you want in stock, AND they offer processing.  800-793-3456 (Northville, Michigan).

*Besides perforations, you'll also need to determine what type of "spooling" and length you want for the film. Films come in different lengths from 100 feet to 2500 feet. Some do not come in the "short" 100 foot size, so don't be surprised if you are told that the film you want only comes in the 1,000 foot roll! Some films come on special reels or in cartridges that make using the film more difficult.

* Technical and sales information on these films is not available from any one source within the manufacturing company, since motion picture and microfilm production (and sales) are normally separate and distinct divisions. It seems crazy to me, but you can't just call one telephone number and get all the information you need about all the 35mm films that a company manufacturers -- welcome to the 21th century! And don't be surprised when you get the right "division" of the manufacturer and they STILL don't know anything about the film that you want.

* For more information than that listed here ask for technical data sheets. Contact:
