The problem is, however, that they don't seem to ever stock any 5",
and they stock very few emulsions in 70mm. 9.5" is abundant, as there
are several cameras currently manufatured that use it, and hundreds of
old ones in use. Last I checked the minumum order was around $5000,
regardless of the film size, you just get different quantities of
rolls - but about the same square footage. For example 36 rolls of
70mm x 100 foot is one minumum.

I welcome any conflicting information, and I will place orders for
various 70mm and 5" immediately if smaller quantities of in-date
modern emulsions are made available.

The ALPA is the best camera I ever used. I use it for Reportage/Street
photography. It is THE quality P+S camera. My ALPA is equiped with a Zeiss
Biogon 4,5/38mm and a Linhof 70mm Filmback, loaded with TX. The Biogon is a
superb lens, meeting the high precision of the swiss made ALPA Body. I use the
"new ALPA-Format 44mmx66mm" which fits in the 8omm image circle of the lens and
has the same ratio as 24x36mm. The 70mm filmback gives me 60 exposures. I was
never so fast, because the scale focusing makes it very easy. The camera is very
handy and let you forget the extra pounds you have over p.e a LEICA. No other
medium-format-camera with the same features is so handy and intuitivly easy to
use. The ALPA is a marvellous travel camera too, because you need not more
gimmicks and gadgets then Lens ,body and back to be well equiped. With a ground
glass you have even a little view camera. It costs a bit more then other
cameras, I know, but it is worth every dollar and you will have a superb and
lasting tool.

Most of the 70mm backs you'll find are for the little 15 foot
cassettes, like scaled-up 35mm.  But there are some backs around
for 100' rolls.  Keith made some simple, rugged, all-manual backs
for 70mm bulk, and you can find a few others listed at
http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/70mmback.htm

Also, check ebay, there are often used portrait studio
cameras with bulk 70mm/4x5 backs available, sometimes dirt
cheap if the camera part of the package is ugly.

I had a 70mm 100' KEITH back for years and used it on my RB.  If I
wanted to put it on a view camera, I had a bastardized 4x5 to 6x7cm
graphlock reducing back.  BUT if I was going that route I also had a
Keith 90mm 100' back!!!  I used 90mm Ilform film or Tri-X when I could
find it.

w.j. -

hi. I've read your 70mm pages several times, as I'm a
70mm Tri-X shooter. I never noticed something before
until just now (I went there after your note to the
panorama list about the aerial 180 prism camera).

Under the Graflex RH50, you (or somebody) mentioned
the possibility of modifying one to 6x9 or 6x12. I'm
told that it can be modified to 6x8 very easily and
still not have any frame overlap. I've modified 6 of
them to 6x12 (actually a machinist friend did it for a
fee) for sale (still have one for $600): 25 frames per
cassette. I also had him alter one to 6x13 that I use:
the opening goes to the center of each roller. I get
perfectly sharp negs corner to corner *without* the
rollers at either end, but I always shoot at f/16 or
smaller, usually f/22-32. 

Thought you might be interested...

Andy
