828 Film
828 Film was a paper-backed, unperforated 35mm roll film introduced by Kodak in 1935, known for its 40 x 28 mm frame size which provided a larger image than standard 35mm film. It was designed for smaller cameras like the Kodak Bantam series by eliminating the need for sprocket holes, though it did include a single perforation per frame. This format had a limited production run and was discontinued by Kodak in the mid-1970s. Kodak introduced 828 film in 1935 to create smaller camera designs, using the same width film stock as 35mm film but with the sprocket holes removed. The 40 x 28 mm frame produced an image about 30% larger than that of standard 35mm film. It was a roll film with a backing paper, similar to 120 film, and was registered using a window on the back of the camera. While some sources describe it as unperforated, true 828 film included a single perforation per frame, used for advancing the film correctly in some camera models. Kodak's Bantam series cameras, like the Bantam, were popular for this format. Despite its advantages in image size, the 828 format did not achieve widespread popularity and had a limited run, ultimately being discontinued by Kodak in the mid-70s.
