I agree with you Paul. The problem is getting those films. However, Fuji does sell un-perforated 35 mm film. That's what I was told. I'm trying to find out where to get it.

If I can't get that, then the only logical choice is to go to standard 35mm film and re-per it and cut the three stips of ...

The ideal solution would be to use 5 inch unperforated production films and get more strips of super 8. However, it's getting it, that's the problem.

Here is a clip of the Supermag working, for those who wish to see it.

Any questions?

They've been selling it for years. It's just been only by special order.
I have been in contact with them and they're interested in selling Supermags and daylight disks with film for it on their site as well.

Andec will most likely the same as well.

Perhaps we could have some kind of fund raising project to build the splitter/perforator?

Any ideas?

Their machines don't do 5 wide rolls, only 16mm film. That's what they told me.

That is why their prices are so high.
If I build a machine that will take the wide production rolls of film, then I can produce far more film at much lower prices per foot than any one else. I can actually make cheeper ...

I'm not out of the game yet. I plan on looking more into the perforator idea. It's begining to look like that is the only logical way to make film cheep. I mean .15 cents per foot would be right on...don't you agree?

With the right films in 5 inch wide rolls, we could sell the films with a profit ...

Kodak is going to produce enough film for their own needs prior to shutting down the machine. It's simple. They need to make enough film for the entire year. So, in order to get my order in, I had to meet the deadline. Therefore, the price was a bit higher.

However, they didn't say positively ...

Feedback from all of you has proven that I was waiting my time with this Kodak film deal. Kodak has their heads so far up their butts that it's going to take an act of God to get it out.

Why are their prices so high? There is not any reasoning behind it. If bulk film is suppose to be cheeper, then ...

You are totally correct...why would we? There is not reason in the world to buy Kodak film. NONE!

I said it before...and I'll say it again. They would only do it as a SPECIAL ORDER because of the films are on a truck to the factory where they make it into the various formats. So, in order to get ...

FOURTY CENTS US PER FOOT!

The price of the Supermag 400 will be coming down a bit for X-mas.

Films for the Supermag 400 are still available from Andec Film and Wittner Film in Germany for a lot less than Kodak's prices.

They sell mostly Fuji Film.

The Supermag can fit any camera that a Kodak cartridge fits. But the microphone would have to be seperate. There isn't any way to use a mic on the camera with the mag in the way. I have rigged up brackets for my camera for a light and mic. They are not hard to make.

The mag will work at single ...

I fixed it...it's back up and ready for your orders.
