16mm film stock

[eddie]

Hello

Does anyone here know where I can buy OCH-L-200 16mm filmstock. Im looking for a dead cheap, very low light b/w reversal double perforated 16mm film.
A place called Simply Cine (www.simplycine.co.uk) used to, dont know if they still do until they answer my email.

Thanks muchly if you can help.

The only stock I can think of that is low light, reversal, and black and white is Kodak's Tri X, but it looks like that's not what you're looking for. Does this one have better results than Tri X by the way?

Hello

TriX is a 200 asa film stock, this one is (I think) 400asa, but can be pushed to 800asa.
I really want something very grainy and of low quality and something cheap.
Unless I can find a source Ill probably end up shooting on Tri X (but its expensive)

Ilford are still in business and sell 16mm film. HP5 can probably be pushed to 800asa or higher. Not sure about suppliers or whether you have to go to them direct.

Try http://www.ilford.com and check out the details. There is an email address for queries.
