Basketball game on Super 8

Post by Ektagraphic »

Hi Guys-
Has anyone shot a high school basketball game/event in a gym with Tri-X Super 8 (7266)? Is the film fast enough? I am going to try it out and wanted to see if anyone else has had success. I would try Vision 500T but, I would rather not shoot on a negative stock.

Pull that old movie camera out of the closet! I'm sure it's hungry for some film!

I have filmed basketball games with S8 TRI-X. You need a XL camera. My Nikon R10 returned dark images. My Canon 310XL ,no problem.--J.S.
