In Reply to: Discontinued film sizes--e.g. 127, 620, 116/616, 122, etc. posted by D. J. Miller on July 01, 1999 at 12:14:26:
: I read with interest your page on discontinued
: (roll)film sizes--a heartfelt topic that has left me in
: a wistful quest of late. The sole remaining North
: American source of production--i.e. cutting, spooling
: and packaging--for any of these films that I have been
: aware of is Dick Haviland's Film For Classics in New
: York. Unfortunately, as Dick himself explained to me a
: few months ago, he has had to quit spooling all of the
: "wider-than-120" sizes, since his source for backing
: paper for the wider sizes (116/616, 122, etc.) ran out.
: This means that Film for Classics is still an excellent
: source for 127, 620 and 828--the only rollfilm sizes
: that Dick currently spools (in addition to some sheet
: film sizes)--and Dick provides processing services for
: these three sizes as well.
: I checked with Central Camera in Chicago and the kind
: personnel there informed me that they had in fact been
: using Film For Classics as their source for the various
: discontinued formats that they sell. Last I knew,
: however, they still had a few rolls left of a 116-size
: black-and-white emulsion.
: Unfortunately for me, it is the 122 size that I have
: been seeking in vain. Does anyone know of a CURRENT
: source for this venerable old "postcard"-size format
: --anywhere on the planet? I should appreciate any
: assistance you can provide. Thanks.
i remember 122 and 116/616. i had family negs in those sizes!
