Hi all, just wanted to try and compile a list of current DS8 stockists. A lot of my bookmarked links are broken as some businesses are no longer around. Feel free to add to the list.
Here is the few I haveâ€â€
Kahl Film, they have BW and two speeds of color (I believe this is the only color DS8 you can find currently, but there is some mystery as to what stock this film actually is, see this post: http://www.cinematography.com/index.php?showtopic=26227)
http://www.kahlfilm.de/content.php?nav=19
Wittner, apparently still working on their Chrome 200D DS8 (according to Ingolf at Wittner it will be available by the end of June 2015)

Just had an email response from Wittner who said their Chrome 200D would be ready in approximately 4 weeks.
Updated the original post.

I wonder how long Wittner can offer Chrome 200D since production stopped on this material over a year ago. I assume he bought out the last of the 200D. How long this will last is the question.

Interesting, do you know what the source material is?mr8mm wrote:I wonder how long Wittner can offer Chrome 200D since production stopped on this material over a year ago. I assume he bought out the last of the 200D. How long this will last is the question.
Also, are you still selling film John? Your website seems to be no longer operational.

Re: Double Super 8 (DS8) stockists
Yes, I am still selling film. My working website is <www.buy8mmfilm.com> .
The source for 200D is AGFA AVIPHOT 200D. A film used in high speed cameras for tracking test rockets but that is done with digital cameras now. So, AGFA stopped production because customers switched to digital. It has an estar base material to operate in high speed cameras without tearing but it is tough to splice. --J.S.
