Bulk loading infrared -Reply

["Timothy E. Coffer" <COFFER.TIM@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, Kodak still sells 35mm HIE in bulk rolls, but the length has been
"inflated" to 150 feet and the sprocket holes are of the Bell & Howell
(movie camera style?) kind, so the film can't be used in 99.9% of the
35mm cameras made in the world. I guess Kodak wants to keep their
sales of 35mm HIE limited to "one roll at a time", versus allowing anyone
to save a buck or two as well as load custom lengths by bulk loading.
Just thought I'd re-relay this to you personally, considering I almost
burned $146 on an roll a month or so ago.
Gee, guess that memory is still all too vivid....... :=)

Years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and I was in high school, I
bought a 100-foot reel of 35mm infrared and loaded it in a Watson's
loader.

Has anyone tried this recently?
Does Kodak sell it in bulk?
Who sells it?
