I picked up 200T kodak super-8... I don't see how this means that kodak is abandoning super-8???

Though I dislike the notion of phasing out stocks, Kodak does this all the time. Like with the great EXR stock '98. But then they turn around and put out '18 (many years later).

So what telecine place is the most commonly used for S8mm in the US?

From all indications it would be Pro8mm, but I had this problem where the colors would shift mid-shot. When I suggested this was a timing error they blamed my camera. I then asked how a S8 camera would be able to control color ...
