Great video. This kind of quality I'd expect from big channels!

Did Bronica ever make a back for 70mm film?

[@mercurycamera]

Yes! For the ETR (645) system they made an excellent 70mm back. Unfortunately, not for the SQ system.

What are my 70mm options for the SL-66 ?

[@mercurycamera]

Unfortunately, Rollei never released a 70mm back for their SL66 system (that I know of). Your best option is to use a film slitter like the following to cut 70mm film (or, what I recommend, 65mm film) down to 120/220 format. You can then run it through your SL66 as 220, and with 65mm film (which has an opaque backing layer called remjet) you don't even need backing paper. You'll waste a little film as leader and tail, but the film is half the price of 120 film, so it is a real bargain, and you get 220 length loads of film. mercuryworks.store/products/65mm-to-120-film-slicer

@@mercurycamera brilliant. I’d like to try that 65mm option.
I do have the Mamiya 70mm system I’m trying out now. I’d love to try a Rolleiflex 6001 just for an excuse to get 1 of these backs
