Thank you everybody. I wonder why they use cotton instead of micro-fiber cloth? I had been cleaning my glasses for years with t-shirts and paper towels but was rebuked by RX optical because it puts minute scratches in your lenses and eventually ruins them. Would it not also do this with film ...

So far I have found FilmGuard and I will probably use a micro-fiber cloth. Any thoughts on this [combination]?

I will be hand-cleaning my thousands of feet of 8mm color, and 8mm Super with sound, film. I need recommendations on what, and where to buy a kit to do this please.

I had not thought of "connecting" the V-10 voice recorder to the camera.

I apologize if I seem 25 years behind the times but it is because I am. But this is what I want: I want ...

I talked to some of the younger generation today at Church about Super 8mm film. Basically in their 20's. There was an absolutely not all-around consensus. They want nothing to do with 8mm. And it wasn't like "Hey that's pretty cool retro". It was a firm "no".
