I have DS8 E100D on 25ft spools. The price is $16.00US. But the problem is why shoot DS8 100D when you can buy S8 100D carts for $14.00. I sell almost no DS8. Let me correct that: I sell no DS8. There is no interest in the USA.

i converted 8 years ago, currently shooting my stockpile of DS8 and R8 k40 and k25 . im shooting approx. 400'/week.
i love the results that the H8 cameras and the Canon scoopic DS8 provides. the pressure plate and camera versatility makes big difference for me. i only result to cartridge if i need to pack lite or underwater cinematography. my shooting, 80% is DS8 or Reg.8mm with the H8 cams. the other 20% is 16mm or cartridge S8. so, if anyone provides my needs for DS8 or R8, once i complete or Dwaynes ceases K14, i'll fersure support.
