I think they would be pretty easy to duplicate with any amount of
darkroom skill.

Well, there's your business opportunity then.

While you're at it, can you make a batch of R210 filmstrip scales?

HTH, HAND.

Get a good one and take it to your local print shop and ask them to do a
positive kodalith copy for you. Should cost five or ten bucks. Hurry up,
before the entire process becomes computerized and litho film becomes a
thing of the past.

I was actually being sarcastic at RapidRonnie. 8-)

On the other paw, if you can get Kodalith in 70mm double perf then the
R210 owners of the world will beat a path to your door. (Even the NOS
replacement filmstrips have gone brittle with age and crack when you
try to install them (so I'm told). A great shame, since it's a very
good set (matches the C11 or C13 sender).)

No, but I got a bunch of Tri-X in 70mm with Type I and Type II perfs here.
Might have something higher contrast too. How long is the strip? You
ought to be able to contact-print it if it's not too long.

70mm Type I is still very popular for aerial photography. I don't know how
much longer that will continue, though.

If the filmstrips are brittle, you might consider using Filmguard on them.
It is very good at softening up old acetate films; I have had 35mm prints
that were stored in attics and could not be projected which, after being
soaked in filmguard and left for six months, softened up nicely.

As long as Maurer 70mm cameras are available. Wish mine hadn't got
trashed in a move; it was _cool_.
