All shooters:Get a chance to mesure the weight of forum !!!

According to Bob Mayson, head of motion picture image capturing at Kodak (from pip interview) : "S8 K40 sales are a drop in the ocean, with only
100,000 cartridges sold per year"

What part of this drop are we ? To mesure our weight for any futher petition or what-ever, I propose that anybody on this forum tell how many cartridge Kodachrome he did bought last year.

I begin : NONE ( ok, this ain't a good start but I was busy on still photography. That also why I wasn't here.)

OK... I bought 3 carts of K40, shot one myself and sent one each to my nephews in Korea.

Def. a drop in the bucket compared to the other S8 stocks I've shot the past 12 months or so -- some 50 or 60 carts of Plus-X, Tri-X and color neg.

Ten bought, seven shot. Plus two half-exposed rolls from FleaBay cameras.

I doubt I'll buy more. My next reversal purchase will be Plus-X, followed by 64T when it's available in August.

K40? shot about 16 - have 10 left - probably won't buy anymore.

About 30 K40

None.

Not only I am not the biggest k40 fan but I haven't bought more than 4 S8 carts in the last year. It has been due to S16.

Good Luck

None. I didnÃ‚Â´t have a camera last year, I just transferred what other people had shot.

eeerhm, abot 25 carts of K40, 4 x Tri-X, 2 x Plus-X and 2 x VNF is my little donation to Kodak's coffers by the way of Super 8 last year. The year before I probably shot 50 or so carts of Kodachrome....

Keep shooting the "reel" stuff"

about 20 carts

Post by **Evan Kubota** » Tue May 24, 2005 8:46 pm

17 carts K40, 5 carts Plus-X. I've shot 2 of the K40 and none of the Plus-X (will be used for my summer film).

In my case the problem is, I discovered S8 is alive this year (about 2 months ago actually).

But for these two months I bought 3 cardridges. I think I'll buy at least one more next month.
Further future is hazy. ;)

Ten bought, seven shot. I am leaning more towards DS-8mm which is more in keeping with my love of R-8mm and 16mm... it's a roll thing...
and for my experience S-8mm equipment is just too much on the fragile side. My overall shooting has been way down the last few years, but I have hopes to rekindle the fires in the near future.
