I've entirely forgotten what we want the black tape for! If it's to
assemble and light-tight a camera, I've used the black masking tape, usually
called Photo Tape. It works well (I've used it to replace the hinge tape on
film holders too).

What, don't you have a "local motion picture equipment supplier".
I'm not sure the brand that Calumet carries, but Bogen makes the brand that
I use. It seems that any photo store that sells Bogen should be able to get
the tape.

But if you go to an electrician's supplier you can get extra wide black
vinyl tape (up to 2 inches wide). There are lots of these suppliers around,
;gaff" tape.
Or if you're desperate- call Grace and Wild- ask for equipment supplies-

If it's for inside a camera, you want to make sure it's not the shiny black

This is extremely helpful, thanks. I gave up on Calumet after trying
without success for two years to get a catalog from them some time ago,
so they've never been on my radar. Thanks for looking it up.

Gaffer tape is a very strong, cloth based tape that looks somewhat like duct
tape, but isn't. It was originally developed to tape small light fixtures
(like Lowell lights) to walls and doors in tight locations, so that it holds
good but comes off pretty clean (if you don't leave it on forever). I w
