In 1975 Eastaman Kodak
presented the Supermatic 200 camera. This new apparatus is exactly as the
Ektasound 140, but it accepted a new cartridge with capacity for 200 foot
movie film. The shape of the new cartridge was like a sound cartridge with a
hexagonal m agazine
added to the top. The film chamber of the camera, at the top, had a cover that
could be removed to put a new cartridge inside. The movie film was sold with the
option of having magnetic stripes . The new proposal was taken up by some cine
equipment manufacturers, but it was no very successful. About 30 cine cameras
were built to accepts the 200 foot magazine.
The available emulsions during the
second half of seventies were: Ektachrome EF 7242 (ASA 125, 3200 K,
tungsten balanced, silent and sound), Ektachrome SM 7244 (ASA 160, 3400
K, photo lamp balanced, silent and sound) and Kodachrome 40 (ASA 40, 3400
K, photo lamp, silent and sound). The first two emulsions in supermatic
cartridge were discontinued in the middle of the eighties. And, in 1997, Eastman
Kodak stopped making sound cartridges.
The following cameras were disegned
