S8 filmstocks compared

Steve your 7217 shots are outrageously sharp and all round nice, but do you have any daytime wide shots?

I would love to see shapness and grain of 7217 at EI 100 - I presume it was developed as per normal at EI200?

..I do have daytime wide shots and will generate more stills to post the next time I'm in the editing suite for review. (and .mov) All my color neg postings here are processed normal (EI200)

The wider the shot the more we will get visible grain. That has been my experience with super 8. Mid focal lengths, mid aperatures and overexposure by one stop with normal processing seems to me to be the best way to get a finer grained image on color negative.

For me this means Super 8 is useful for close ups and can be intercut with wider angle 16mm footage on the same stock without too much visual distraction. ( this is my untested assumption)

Question: when people talk of shooting 7217 as ASA 100 film, do they also pull the development 1 stop, or process as normal and overexpose the film 1 stop?

When I say it, I mean overexposing the film by one full stop and asking the lab to process as normal. The telecine operators I work with have told me this is a good habit because it gives them a bit more to work with..

This is one of few wide angle shots I wave on 200T just playing around.

Here's a medium to wide shot, maybe zoomed.. these shots look very sharp in real time.
