A very fascinating article. Thanks for posting!

Thanks, David, for reminding me of two distinct Super 8 databases. The super8wiki is extensive. HTML bits and pieces of super8data.com can be found on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine,i.e https://web.archive.org/web/20141226093930/http://www.super8data.com/ Some of the links were not archived.

The 1947 Kodachrome is beautiful, Paul.

Let's do it! Super 8 data wants to be free!

The Gigabit web doesn't appear to have been updated since 2004. Can the developer still be purchased? What quantity would be required to process 400ft? Estimated price?

Thanks Doug! Great to see your post, Simon! Absolutely fascinating. But I am confused by the 16-0.3000 long pitch spec. This is typically used for double row 2-perf 16mm film in high speed cameras. Or was it originally designated for single row contact printers? Will this pitch correctly transport i...

Needs a rethink and design. Logmar may be developing a 400 ft S8 mag for optical printing.

Why, Carl? Are they still utilizing polygon prisms for frame blending? I believe they now have CCD camera gate options for "live" view.

This came out a few years ago.

Bloomberg reporter hints at 4K scan as part of the new Kodak one-stop-shop channel relative to the new Kodak/Logmar Super 8 camera. Calls this the flagship ($1000 US) with more models planned. I suspect that Logmar actual built the prototypes for CES2016. Which will eventually be farmed out overseas...

The new Kodak cleaner machine utilizes HFE 7200 Film Cleaner Solution which I suspect is manufactured by 3M. I found this 3M pdf which states that HFE 7200 is the same as 3M HFE 8200, i.e. http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/122856O/novec-engineered-fluids-for-film-cleaning.pdf Apparently the new 3MÃ...

Great news, Dennis. The 100ft R8 price is a bit high but I understand the expense involved and the razor thin " profit" margin. LIFT use to recently stock 100ft R8 E100D for approximately $56-60 CAN so your suggested pricing is not stratospheric. My preference is for the film stock only a...

Logmar is seeking interest in a new horizonatal loading Super 8 Vistavision anamorphic camera. No threading. Approximately $2,500 US +. I calculated the proposed frame dimensions at 5.69mm (h) x 8.44mm (w) w/ AR = 1.48:1 which would be it's flat aperture but with a 2x anamorphic expands laterally to...

Gabe, Regarding your comments, i.e. " Thinking the C-300 might be easier to maintain also, considering the mechanism for film transport is in the magazine and not in the camera. The C-300 is also reflex (I think?) whereas the H8 is not. " Good luck on getting an Elmo C-300 serviced or repa...

Your most welcome.
