Eastman 5247 was the name of the famous long-standing
industry
standard 35 mm motion picture negative film. I shot my
share, usually
in an Arriflex. I have no idea what Seattle Film works
actually
spooled into 35 mm still cassettes...

I couldn't remember the number. The same emlusion was
available in 16mm stock as 7247 but there were variations
since 16mm film is made with both single and double perfs
and two different windings of single perf film. I think each
of these had a separate number but would have to look at an
old Kodak catalogue to be sure. Very confusing.
5247 was balanced for 3200K tungsten but could be used
for daylight with the addition of a filter. The idea was
that only a single stock was needed and the speed would be
optimised for the low level of tungsten where usually
daylight has plenty to spare to make up for the filter
factor. I think Seattle Film Works corrected the color in
the printing because the film did not need a filter to be
used in daylight. This probably compromised the color
somewhat but one assumes that anyone really fussy would have
used dedicated still color film.
