100 Foot Film?


I was looking for film on a web site and I came across a link that said 100 foot rolls. I wasn't sure what they were and there was no descripion. Can somebody please help me.

  Professional photographers who use a lot of film (or anyone for that matter) can buy their film in rolls of 100 feet and fill their own cartridges with as many shots as they want. It is a bit cheaper in bulk but you beed to buy a proper dispenser and blank rolls to refill.

  It was very likely film for long roll camera. These cameras are used primarily by school & event photographers.

  When I take my photgraphs I hate waiting til I finish a 24 exp roll to see them, So I buy 100 ft rolls and load my own casettes with 10-12 exp.
B+H Photo sells Tri-X still but I usually have to have them order color film. Empty casettes run about $6 for 10
new, the last time I bought any, since they're reusable, you don't have to replace them very often
