I am an amature photographer and camera collector. I try to use all of the cameras I collect and I now have an old, but in new condition, kodak 5x7 roll film camera. My question is: Where can I get some film? Or can I even get film? mlambdin

Check out the Brownie Camera Page

Hi Mark,

I have a web site called The Brownie Camera Page which has listings of where to get discontinued film sizes. The address is: http://members.aol.com/Chuck02178/brownie.htm I'm not sure whether that size is available but call Film For Classics at the number on the page.

Try Kodak for Ariel film for that format. Or try military surplus stores.

I checked it out further

There seems to be 2 cameras that used that film. One is the Rollholder Kodak from 1898 using #112 rollfilm and the other is the #5 Cartridge Kodak also from 1898 using #115. I know Film for Classics does not make those films. There is another place listed on the Brownie Camera Page that may but I doubt it. I sometimes roll 120 thru these cameras just to get an image even though it's not the correct size. At least it's a way to use the cameras if you have 2 spools. Good Luck!
