A few months ago I shot a lens test with a 24 roll (I believe I posted
the results to the list). As H.W. pointed out, I found the biggest issue
I had was loading the darned thing without wasting too much film. I
think I burned close to a foot. But other than that, 35mm Mopic is
basically a 1/2 frame of the 35mm still (aka 135) frame.
As an aside, I must not have hit the update button after uploading Mr
Stone's descriptions. So I have re-updated the page on the KS/P & BH/N
perforations issue. Like many things, Kodak seems to have a double
standard on how they talk about them. They list KS and BH in several
places on their site, but their cans are listed as "P" & "N". Anyway, it
now has his added information.
Looking at a can of Kodak Mopic 35mm, it says:
35 N4740(1866) EI
Which means:
35 = Film Width
N = Perforation Type
4740(186) = Perforation Pitch, Metric/Inches
EI = Emulsion In, Emulsion Position and winding type
