[Konvas] 250mm vs 135mm Jupiter lens test

[Adam Frey]

If H.W. is correct (and I trust his knowledge), then what about buying 
bulk 135 film (usually used for bulk loading)? I found these 100' (33 
meter) C41 films on Adorama:

Under $60 for a 100' roll (close to twice the cost of MoPic film). Not 
sure if it will be on the same core as Motion Picture Film though. Has 
anyone used bulk loading film rolls before? Core or No Core?

I found several other films that came in 100' rolls (try a search on 
Adorama for: 100' film iso), but I'm not sure which of those can be 
processed in standard C41 processing and which use other processes.

And if anyone is wondering why I'd test with 135/C41 over standard MoPic 
film, it's because:
A) I can, potentially, shoot & process it in a single day (I'd just need 
a quicky photo lab).
B) Within 10-15 minutes, there are several one-hour photo shops, 
including wal-mart...
C) There are only two MoPic labs nearby and they are both over an hour's 
drive away - and even longer during Rush-Hour!
D) Neither of those MoPic labs process film quickly (can take 2-4 days).

Of course, you can always do your own processing, if you own a 
processing tank. Probably a lot cheaper if you do tests often...
