Hi there, Just bought a Rollei 16, and found that no store has the film for it. Does anyone knows where I can find it? Help.
Thanks, Dan

The problem isn't finding the film, it's in finding the 16mm film cassettes. the film is standard single sprocket 16 mm hence the name. Double sprocket probably would work. Kodak Recodak film in Acufine is supposed to yield fine grain. The developer of Acufine uses a rollei16. There are many other grades of 16mm film. Reloading is no big deal. Having a supply of cassettes is the rub. I've seen ads for miniature films but at the moment I can't recall where, so keep looking.

I have a Rollei 16 and have found it a very nice shooter. -- Jim
