g.
love the fact you kept the sound of the projector and that one can see the dust. Seeing this gives me hope the films I keep in my fridge for 15 years now still will show something. Where can one develop bw s8 these days? still berlin or prague?

Hi, thanks:) Yes the dust, hairs and noise are an important part of the Super 8 or any cine experience! When I watch my super 8mm copy of Alien it always creeps me out far more than the DVD version! Your films should show something if a bit washed out, if it's Kodachrome K40 then Kodak do not process it any more but Dwayne's in the USA do or you may find a local specialist lab. The new film Ektachrome 60 can be developed at most cine labs - check the internet for sites, Kodak have closed all their processing labs now. Be sure your camera can handle the 60 asa rating of the new film, some can, some can't - I can direct you to a site with a lot of help on that matter if you wish. There are also two magazines dedicated to Super 8 and 16mm -

Have fun, and it is more fun than a digital movie camera can every be no matter how "good" they are. Cheers Paul

Hi, many thanks. I think the Eumig Nautica was struggling with it's exposure settings for this ASA rated film, add that to the fact it was 20 years out-of-date and you get this lovely,in my opinion, timeless feel to the film.Cheers Paul
