The format

A single frame of 15/70 is nearly 10 times larger than standard 35mm film, more than four times larger than VistaVision, and three times larger than 5-perf 65mm.

The Ultra70 cameras feature an optional fiberglass sound blimp, as well as an underwater housing built by the legendary Pete Romano of Hydroflex. Three camera bodies and 12 magazines are available.
