As is mentioned in the FAQ, Kinderman makes a 70mm reel that holds 15'
lengths.  I also perused a Jobo catalog and found that they have a 70mm
reel for the 2500 series tanks that hols 5' lengths.

You can order complete 70mm cartridges from any Hasselblad dealer... I got
mine from B&H.

Going rate for 150 foot rolls of 70mm HIE is just over $200 US,  Not sure
about EIR.

I convinced a local lab with 35mm HIE experience to do 70mm for me in their
dip 'n dunk tank... only concession I have to make is to cut it down to the
same length as 120... and the next time I go in we're going to test it to
see if we can go to 220 lengths. 

YMMV

Cheers, and good luck!
