Author Topic: New forum for large format enthusiasts Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-04-2004 12:03 AM                     After getting this request for some time and finally seeing why I get this request so often...here it is. By the morning, all 8/70 and 15/70 threads will be moved into this forum for archival and future discussion.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 05-04-2004 04:25 AM                        Either it's a great and welcome idea that's been necessary and known about for quite some time ... or it's a slick and clever way of segregating me and my predominantly Large-Format posts from the Film-Tech society, along with the rest of the Large Format cultists. DOWN WITH 35mm!!! Y'all with yer skinny film and optical soundtracks and yer ... vertical threading! ... who needs ya!?! Okay, perhaps I overreacted there. No hard feelings.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-04-2004 05:52 AM                        Not only is the image quality better, but 70mm requires fewer slitting knives than 35mm. You get 19 strips across a 54-inch "wide roll" of Kodak VISION Color Print Film, instead of the 38 strips you get with 35mm film.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 05-04-2004 11:31 AM                        Less slitting knives? Why that's better for the environment!  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 05-04-2004 11:48 AM                    Sadly, by today's declining standards 35mm true anamorphic is virtually a large format. BTW, I have some 105mm film. That tops your nancy-boy 70/15. One more stupid thought: IMAX projected using the technology of that defunct drive-in with the individual screens could feed a multiplex using one projector and one print. How's that for economy? OK, I'm done now.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Furley Film God Posts: 3059 From: Coulsdon, Croydon, England Registered: May 2002 posted 05-04-2004 12:02 PM                     At the other extreme, Pathe Duplex was a very short-lived home widescreen system which ran 9.5mm, film with special perforations, horizontally through the camera, exposing half the width, it was then turned round, like 8mm, to expose the other half. When slit for projection the film was 4.75mm wide. The BKSTS film formats wallchart shows an even smaller format, I don't have a copy handy at the moment, but it was either 3 or 3.5mm. I've never heard of it anywhere else, and I've no idea what it was used for, but I seem to remember that it was something to do with the USAF.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-04-2004 12:48 PM                        quote: Steve Kraus BTW, I have some 105mm film.
