Where to buy super 8 film stock cartridges – a global resource

 Super 8 film making has gone through a revitalisation and passion for moving images where digital inages are not allways as nice or as lovely as film.

 Small format film makers, independants and students of the arts

are creating a renaisance in small format Super 8mm film making.

The super 8 guys have been transffering film for years and still find time to run the occasional real reel of E64t.

 You can now get Ektachrome from various places in Australia, we recommendnanolab who also provide development services and packages of film. development and transfer to avi dara DVD at competitive proces. In the UK we suggest Bluecinetech these guys are also into film super 8 film sales are core as are transfers using Tobin machines (not the best gear in the world) so it’s OK for newly developed film but I would not trust those nachines with older fragile films as they use sprockets that can shred older film.

The other places are EBay but let me add a word of caution so you know that sometimes the film you recieve is anything but fresh so please be careful and make sure you read feedback comments and the more positive the better as these are from actual super 8 film stock buyers.

In the USA  Kodakoffers direct ordering of several different film stocks in Super 8 such as Ektachrome 64t super 8 reversal, Tri-X black and white as well as Plus X black and white super 8 movie film.

These days affordable film processing / super8 film development is available from a number of film labs around the USA.

Spectra  Pro 8 mm Yale  Dwayne’s Kansas ($10). It makes sense to send multiple cartridges in for developing at once to reduce postage costs. You should check out the var”all inclusive” packages offered by the labs, too. They give you a single price for the film, prepaid processing, and even video transfer.
