Using Super 8

[chuck909]

Being used to loading 35mm from bulk rolls since I was about 10, it seemed obvious that one should be able to load Super 8 cartridges the same way.

It seems that there is a Double Super 8, intended to be used the same way that regular 8 is used. I suspect that with the proper equipment, one could slit the film before processing and use it as Super 8. I don't know if loadable cartridges are available.

Yes, there was a double S8 that came in 100' rolls. Like regular 8 it was flipped at the end run again and then split in processing giving 200' of S8. It was not overly popular.

 

Reloading an S8 cartridge is next to impossible.

 

I just did remember that Kodak MAY have loaded 400' roll for TV use.

Possible, but not something I'd want to attempt in the dark.

My current interest is in Estes Cineroc film, which is about 10.5 feet of Super 8 in

a special cartridge. I just found this:

which tells one way to develop such film.

WOW! Just goes to show that some people will do something just to show that it can be done. Good luck finding bulk S8 film
