    I'm a new hasselblad addict and you've just cost me sooooo much money.
    THANK YOU SO MUCH!
    What an exciting company. I'm gonna have to order a camera from you guys.

    The 65mm is the Negative for the TODD AO 65/70 system.
    The 70mm in the 65/70 TODD AO system, is projection positive print film.
    The perforations in 70mm print film are identical to the 65mm neg film, and are in-line. The extra width outside the perforations on the print film is where the sound track is added.

      Thanks for the comment! I want to clarify a couple of things, though. The 70mm film discussed and shown here is not the same as motion picture 70mm film, which is only used for release prints (print film, not camera film). 70mm film intended for use in cameras is not from the motion picture industry. As described in this video, it was and is made in several different perforation types: unperforated, Type 1 perforated, and Type 2 perforated. None of these is the same as 70mm print film from the motion picture industry. It is only this latter print film that has perforations that match 65mm motion picture camera film. For anyone curious, though, once a Hasselblad has been upgraded as described here, it can indeed shoot all of these formats: 65mm motion picture film, 70mm camera (still photography) film, and 70mm motion picture print film (though this has an extremely low ISO).

      👍 I use 70mm Type II in Hasselblad A70 and Linhof "Cine Rollex" magazines.

    I had no intention of ever purchasing anything from you guys, but thank you so much for making this stupendously interesting and pro grade video. Your presentation skills are phenomenal. Is there any 70mm film youre aware of thats unperforated and doesnt feature any text on the borders? I feel like we’re all getting ripped off having holes and text on parts of emulsion we could use for capturing more image detail . Thank you for making this video.

      Thanks for your kind words! Yes, our Murnau 100 BW 70mm film is unperforated and has no edge text, so it maximizes image area. You can find it here: mercuryworks.store/products/mercury-murnau-100-70mm-film

    there is an easier way of changing asa mid shoot, have TWO A70 backs, and switch one for the other!, thats the modular concept, on this Hasselblad, or a Bronica or Mamiya RB\RZ ; and why there is the mags in the first place.
    But I do see this, applying to the 135 format cannon and Nikon 250 &750 backs, which work on the same principle, but using a Nikon F2/F3 or a Cannon Ae1, etc. slr's; because they work by a skeleton and the inserts, which cant be removed like the MF film backs can, you destroy the light sealing of the assembly in the process.

    Mid roll change looks like you should advance 1.5 frames or more. Because of the leader needs to advance into the cassett

    • @mercurycamera
      @mercurycamera  3 місяці тому

      Yes, absolutely. I don't know if I was clear in the video, but you should do a normal advance after your last photo, and then an EXTRA advance after that. You will then cut this second "frame" in half, so you are absolutely right that it is 2 advances, of which you are using at least 1.5 of as tail for your exposed roll.

    can you recommend others cameras that can shoot 65/70mm? because this is the only video that i found. i'm really interested in shooting like from a eyesball view. A 65/70mm film with a 17 mm lens, but i cant find anything suitable with this camera without an adapter

    • @mercurycamera
      @mercurycamera  3 місяці тому +1

      We have a full list of compatible cameras at www.shoot65mm.com including everything you need to get started! The Mercury Universal Medium Format camera system is the only one that is compatible with hundreds of lenses, for experimenting in the ways you suggest. The Arsat 30mm fisheye lens (P6 mount) is an amazing fisheye for medium format, and would be really cool on 65/70mm film! This can be done with a Mercury, or with the Pentax 645 system and a P6 adapter.

    Video needs a retitle to the story of Mercury Works. By the time you get to whatever you will get to I already left the channel. Pacing is bad
