The problem is, most IMAX frames with an IMAX camera would have a normal resolution of 60 lp/mm. So in order to get a typical 35mm motion picture camera running Super35 to do IMAX type work, the image resolution has to be about 180 lp/mm. Some color aerial recon films will do this but the ASA speed would be around 5 or so. The ASA 50 Vision stocks are good for about 120 lp/mm. Close but no cigar
It will be interesting to see how the new Kodak VISION2 50D Color Negative Film 5201 performs! Much finer grain and better sharpness than 5245:

The company is also previewing images recorded with the new KODAK VISION2 50D
5201/7201 color negative film, which is scheduled to be available in all
formats in October. Mayson says the new negative is designed to give
cinematographers more creative latitude while filming high-contrast exterior
scenes in bright daylight as well as shots in mixed color temperatures. The
film is also optimized as a recorder output film.
The new emulsion will be the sixth member of the Kodak VISION2 family of
films, which was introduced in November 2002. The others are KODAK VISION2
500T 5218/7218, KODAK VISION2 100T 5212/7212, KODAK VISION2 200T 5217/7217,
KODAK VISION2 250D 5205/7205, and KODAK VISION2 500T Expression 5229/7229.
"The KODAK VISION2 family of films is designed to provide cinematographers
with a broad palette of options," notes Thierry Perronnet, marketing director
for Kodak's Entertainment Imaging Division covering Europe, Middle East and
Africa. "Kodak remains committed to continued improvement of film technology
through research. We foresee a future of limitless possibilities."
Now imagine Kodak VISION2 50D used for 65mm 15-perf origination!
