Super16 help

[Gwailofilms]

I've just come into possession of some Kodak Super16 short-ends and I haven't a Scooby what's what.

I have:-

Two cans with a pink strip seal; one has 7274 188 049,1 1R on it and the other has
7274 188 034,1 1R on it.

One can with a yellow strip seal with 7245 485 040, 1 1R printed on it.

One can with a red seal strip with all sorts of numbers on it~:-

16 N 1R 7605(2994) EIB
7274 - 184 - 042.1 07.01
VXM 457
CAT 524 2789

One can with a (very) luminous pink seal that says 7279 255048 75.14 F (in a little circle)#

All numbers etc. are quoted exactly as they appear on the cans. I'm a video man and know stuff all about celluloid, so if ANY of the above means ANYTHING to ANYONE, please help.

Cheers.

go to www.kodak.com and go to the motion picture section, here there is a section which explains the the codes that are on the cans... http://www.kodak.com/US/en/motion/su...h2/label.shtml

It seems you have 3 rolls of 7274 which is Kodaks Vision 200T (which means you rate the film speed at an Index Exposure - I.E. of 200 (equivalent to ASA for stills) under tungsten lighting or 125 under daylight with a #85 filter.

The other stocks you have are 7245, which is Kodak EXR 50D (I.E. 50 Daylight or 12 Tungsten with #80A filter). And finally 7279, which Vision 500T (I.E. 500 Tungsten or 320 Daylight with #85).

All stocks include the prefix 1R which is single perforation, suitable for Super 16.

If you got it free you should check it's history - how old, how it was stored, if you ever plan to use it, get it clip tested at a lab.

I don't know much about the codes on them, but I do know a little about super 16mm film. I'm not sure if you know this or not but I'll tell you what I know anyway.

Super 16mm has no sound track on it and the picture extends over to where the sound track would usually be. It is used primarily to shoot the film cheap, and then get blown up to 35mm.

Like I said, I'm not sure if this is of any use, but I like to show off.
