Films for the Samsung Vega 700

The Samsung Vega 700 requires 35mm film according to the manual. The 35mm format is the most common film format. Therefore some manufacturers still produce for this format. For color pictures, there is the Kodak Portra 400*, for black and white pictures the Ilford FP4 Plus* is a possibility.

The negatives of the Samsung Vega 700 are 24 mm x 36 mm. This means that at least 36 photos fit onto a 36 frame 35mm film. If you use the panorama function, the number remains the same, as only two bars from above and below slide into the picture, creating the illusion of a panorama.

The film transport is automated.
