perhaps it would be easier and cheaper to get a second R16? The turret version seems to be cheaper anyway, and you'd have a lot of flexibility with 2 cameras.

Funny short! Why shouldn't it be in-camera edit, especially since it's the whole point of straight8.

No method of storage can last forever, not even film. Such a thing violates the second law of thermodynamics. That leaves the question of whether digital or analog archieves would last longest. Who cares anyway? As long as it lasts within our lifetimes, 99% will be satisfied, make it last one gener...

Many cameras read 64, unfortunately also many don't. My impression is that the newest cameras read only 40 and 160 (it's not 160 it's 40).

Congratulations on your purchase, and welcome to the world of 8mm filmmaking! Single8 is the better systemn, however with fewer choices in stock. If you're in US, have a look at http://www.single8film.com/ for supply, in europe I'd suggest http://www.andecfilm.de and if you don't mind shopping in ja...

The other (non-single8) fuji stocks are as thick as kodak's? But even then, 12m - I go for it!

Perhaps it's just me, but the activity around 8mm seems to be more active than ever, so perhaps andec will think about it? OK, and the absolute unthinkable: neg and e6 stock in single8 carts. Easy to do, since they can be reloaded without trouble. I'd run as fast as possible to grab one of the last ...

Just looking at the Ilford 16mm stock on filmemporium.com and I can't believe that stock produced in the UK is sold so cheap over there and then needs to be shipped back to here to get a good price. It sucks, doesn't it. Feel free to extend that frustration to europe in general, it seems that eurol...

I'll tell you what irritated me about SIDEWAYS. It was too fucking long!More than two hours. It is not the kind of movie that warrants being more than 90mins. Yes, that's a bad habit both of books and films, they are stretched beyond their real content. Even photographs and paintings seem to be rid...

s8 dead? the quest for beaulieu batteries

:D so, you thought super8 was dead :D read this funny story, then! As you may know, I have been searching for adequate beaulieu batteries for a while now. The manufacturer of the replacement cells, Emmerich, went bankrupt, so thos seemed the end so far to easyly recell those things. I am not one who...
