Anyone know what the kodak 35mm film with super 8 perforations is used for?
They make (or made) 2 versions, one with a perf of 1-0 perforation, another with a 1-3-5-7-0 position.

Re: 35mm film super 8 perforations
These were for making bulk release prints on super 8. The print stock, which would be slit after printing, would need one row of s8 perforations per super 8 print. Stocks that only had perforations on the edge (1-0) were for making the internegs which the multi-row stock was printed from. There were optical reduction printers that could take one 35mm original and print 4 x super 8 images. So the 1-0 stock would be used in those optical reducing printers to make a master interneg from which the release prints on multi row stock were printed.camera8mm wrote:Anyone know what the kodak 35mm film with super 8 perforations is used for?

Now days the only multi row stock with s8 perforations that Kodak do is the 16mm 3383 print stock with perf at 1 and 3 (unlike double super 8 stock, which has perfs at 1 and 4 - the outside edges that you are referring to as 1-0)
