Camera buffs. I need some ISO1000 speed film

Courtesy of rec.boats various photo and lens discussions, I'm getting the bug to break out the old Yashica TL super and the Minolta x-700.

I've used 100 150 200 400, but I really enjoyed working with 1000 and 1500 speed 35mm.

people asked me "what do you want to use that film for. it's too grainey and the color is bleak?"

I like to stop stuff. Att he time, like helicoptor rotors, slow down airplane props etc. And doing low light things.

When overseas about all that was readily available was Fuji, which was fine, and 20 yrs ago kodak here yuou could get Kodak and Fuji, , but I can't seem to find any anywhere now.

What happened. did it really become obsolete because 400 is in the plastic throw-away's and everybody has gone digital?

I oculd go back to using 400, but I'm kind of used to 1000+

Where can I find the stuff?

Thanks! Tim

I've read that students in Arts type schools love using 8mm or Super 8 film for their projects. Contact an arts school near you. Don

I used to do some stuff with B&W, but seeing I don't ahve any dark room experience, I never could get the results the way I wanted, so I ditched that idea. I also had some success with Tungsten, it's a crazy film. I might try some of that too, if I can find it... tschnautz

I've used Kodak Royal , but like you said.

Not a clue.

That's the same results I've had, that is, as far as buying or trying to order it locally.

I've seen the stuff pop up ocassionally on Ebay at pretty cheap prices, but I'm always questioning the integrity of the film.

I have been looking for 8mm film for my Bolex for years. I don't think they even make that stuff anymore. Gosh, I hate to give up my Bolex. Any collectors out there interested? Eddie Eddie

Do you have a Wolf Camera in your area? They have Fuji 1000, and I thought that I saw that Kodak was making a 600 in either kodachrome or ektachrome. basskisser
