Tillverka din egen 127-film

På photo.net hittade jag ett inlägg från Ralf Jakoel som beskriver hur han tillverkar sin egen 127-film av vilken film som helst som finns på 120-rulle. På köpet får han dessutom en 16 mm-rulle till andra små kameror för just det formatet. 

”Hi - with the ridiculous prices being asked for 127 film size I decided to see if I can roll my own. It can seem kind of difficult, but it really isn't and with practice you will have access to all modern emulsions made in 120 size. First of you will need a film cutter, as the 127 is about 46mm wide vs the 62mm width of the 120 film, once you have that, the rest is easy. You will need to collect and preserve as many spools as possible. I got some form Mr. Oleson (Thank you Rick) and also preserved the left over from a batch of efke and Macophot I bought later. I also preserved the backing paper and made some myself off 120 backing paper as one set of numbers actually matches with the ones on 127 backing paper. My film slitter is really a pleciglass plate which is 62mm wide, and has an exacto blade fixed to it perpendicularly. This pleciglass plate fits in the 6x9 frame of a cheap rollfilm camera I bought for this specific job. All you do is roll film as you would from one spool to the other and it splits nicely in respectively 16mm and 46mm strips. The 16mm I use with my Minolta 16 cameras, and the 46, you guessed it, for 127 film. Here is a photo of my film slicer:”

Kanske en alternativ karriär väntar min sjuka Pontiac Bloc Metal 41?

Det räcker nog med att se på bilden där han satt en kniv på rätt avstånd i en plexiglasskiva och sen kör filmen i en gammal kamera med frammatningsratten. I totalt mörker förstås =)
Men det är fint att du vill lära dig engelska. Det är mycket användbart.
