Hi Jerry. 126 "Instamatic" and 828 roll film both have film strips that
are 35mm wide, with one index perf per image. Unfortunately you can't
use film from a 126 cartridge to re-spool 828, because the 126 film has
preprinted frame lines and numbers that would surely get in the way.

828 was a roll film which came on spools. I think you are confusing 828 with Instamatic 126 film.

I believe only Film For Classics is currently spooling 828 (he supplies B&H). You can re-spool your own using 35mm non-perforated film and salvaged backing paper and spools. Certain 828 cameras require a perforation in the margin, one perf per frame, for their frame counters to operate correctly. Standard 35mm perforations will intrude into the 828 image.
35mm unperforated film used to be a standard long-roll size, mainly for school photographers. Whenever I come across any it's invariably a Konica C41 film (nice film!). I haven't found any source of unperfed 35mm standard panchromatic pictorial films.
35mm microfilms are unperforated, but must be developed in extremely soft developers if you want pictorial gradation. Information regarding pictorial photography with microfilms can be found on my commercial web site, http://www.frugalphotographer.com.

It's a beautiful art deco piece, and looks nice next to my Rolleiflex. However, I'd like to run some film through it, which is 828. A look through B&H only listed one in that size, and in color.
Does anyone know of other sellers in this size with b/w film(expensive, yes), or better yet have suggestions/links to how I can work around this?
