I Never Had A Stuck Cart Or An Abnormal Image Jump

[S8 Booster]

with any cart of my 4000m footage - apart from a few during the K40 bad cart series early 2000s.

i am a bit surprised by those who experiences such problems these days - camera ageing/degradation aside.

how about you?

shoot....

Personally I never had film stuck in a cartridge; jitter only due to old grease on camera gears ...
Only took about 500 m over the last three years though.
Funny though that I had jitter with Standard 8 once.

The only stuck I had was a Kaccema that was reloaded by me. Apart from that, never ever.

Yeah, me too. One can imagine my surprise and shock when the 8 rolls I shot in the fall of 2002 all came out bad. Constant sticking in the camera, jittery unusable images... A letter to Kodak and they replaced all my film cartridges with the new improved batch and even included some B+W Plus-X. Then later the problem was faulty cameras. I went through an unbelievable stretch where camera after camera either outright failed, or produced jittery or otherwise unusable footage. Trusted cameras fell by the wayside. It led to my withdrawal from S-8mm to concentrate on 16mm and my first love, R-8mm. Filming bliss resulted. Then I added DS-8mm and that is the ultimate in image quality vs. cost for a film stock. I love it. I often miss the ease and coolness of those great S-8mm cameras and that little cartridge, but I am happy with what I have.

I've never had a stuck cartridge or abnormal image jump either with super 8. However, in some of my tri-x that I bought all at the same time and used all in the same hour, all through the same camera. You can see that some carts got better registration than others. But none of the registration is horrible though...
