Argus Super8 Sound Camera
I have a Argus AS768 Super8 Sound camera. I would like to know if I can still buy film stock for this camera (and where) or if there is another type film stock that is interchangable for this model. I would prefer to shoot B&W with grainy texture.
Sound cameras can shoot both silent and sound film.
Anyway sound film is no more manufactured, so...
Kodak produces two black&white emulsions: Plus-x (50 asa) and Tri-x (200 asa), both reversal.
Tri-x, being a faster emulsion, is more...grainy!
Kodak doesn't process them, so you must have them processed by an indipendent lab, or process them by yourself.
I don't know where you live, but I think you won't have problems to find these emulsions in your country, simply contacting a Kodak dealer.
Bye,
G.
