Depends on what you want to do with it. Go to Fuji or Kodak's website and they describe the various qualities of their different motion picture stocks. Kodak is www.kodak.com but I don't know what Fuji's site is. |

Don't just look at price but at what you need as well. Lighting conditions, picture quality, etc... I'm sure you know all that. When it comes to film you usually get what you pay for. I've found that some filmstocks are more expensive for a good reason. Most stores sell it for about the same amount as what you'd find online if not more. Though one lab in NYC sells B&W film and then processes it for a $13 flat fee. Sounds great but the film is reversal and the $13 represents per 100ft of film. 2.7 seconds at 24fps. ------------------

100' of film is closer to 3 minutes than 2.7 seconds... |

100 ft of 16mm @ 24 fps is 2 min 47 sec.Do the math. 16mm is 40 frames / ft. 100ft x 40 fpf = 4000 frames. 4000 frames / 24 fps = 167 sec = 2 min 47 sec.
