I have shot KS perfs in an arri 3 and it ran steady... that was a bulk
roll of ektachrome 64T slide film... probably not steady enough for
effects but for an experimental film it looked fine... 35mm camera
original up on a 40 foot screen cannot be matched for sharpness or
detail especially when you have 3000+ watts of xenon pumping through
it.
I imagine the roll lengths are between 2000 and 10000 feet but i have
not been able to get this information... soon I hope now that I have
given up on the slaes rep and started to post the question.
