You might want to contact the guy mentioned below, to see whether
the can cut you other sizes from 70mm than the 120/220 & HIE he is
doing right now:

Single 220 roll of Kodak HIE black & white infrared film. Finally a
way to shoot IR film in a medium format camera! Film is fresh,
expires 12/99 

One side of the film has 35mm sproket holes. This is because the film
was made by cutting down 70mm film down to 61.5mm film. This is not a
problem though because the sproket holes are on the edge of the film
and not the image area. Depending on your MF camera the very bottom
1mm of your negative image may protrude into the sproket holes, but
this is easily cropped out in the darkroom. Infact most negative
carriers are slighly smaller than the actual format size and will
automatically crop out the edges of the film 

Price is $20 dollars a roll. Minimum order is 3 rolls. Shipping is $3
any where in the USA.

I also have 220 rolls of Kodak Color Infrared film process E-6 or
AR-5 cut down to Medium Format size. These were also cut down from
70mm stock and has sprocket holes along one edge. Price is $25
dollars a roll. Minium order 3 rolls.

Both the color & black and white IR 220 film has paper leaders and
trailers and come in a light tight resealable plastic container.
Unlike the 35mm versions of these films the 220 rolls can be loaded
in subdued light. Allow a 3 to 4 weeks for delivery. All film is
fresh.

Email me if you have questions. I cut this film down myself and my
cutting method is very accurate and produces a smooth cut.
