Kodak Ektachrome 100D - Super 8


Recommended Posts

So I see that the Super 8 version is now on the B&H site now, but sadly out of stock. So glad to see they have it listed. The earlier version was such a lovely film when projected, I hope this new formula is just as nice. I was shocked at the price though! I hope this will drop if it sells well.

The Tri-X is $34 and Vision 3 is $35. It seems that Super-8 is expensive.

 

There is a Fomapan double super-8. I am not sure what you do with that.

Slit it down, and put it in used Super-8 cartridges?

 

As far as I know, the market is film school students. Compared to the cost of classes, it

might be a small extra expense.

 

In 35mm, there is competition from Fuji, maybe Fuji will get back into Super-8, too.

 

It is about twice the film area of 135-36, so it probably won't get down to $15.

 

If you are shooting for scanning, I suspect Vision 3 is the right choice.
