Cheers for the dates.
If anyone is interested here's a few observations on using Super 8 so far this year:
> Need a cine camera that has manual controls as modern film won't necessarily correspond with light meter settings in an old auto one.
> More than likely it'll run at 1/30th of a second at 18 frames per second.
> Use a light meter to measure incident, not reflective readings. Use that to set exposure for 1/30th.
> Need lots of light.
> Need lots of money - about ?20 a minute to run by the time you've bought the film, developed and properly telecine'd it to digital. Crappy digital 'scratchy lines' etc. are nowhere near a proper film look.
> You get 3min 20 secs from a 50' reel.
> Need to shoot more film so I have a film to show....
> It's proper film so 'pose' value is rather good.
> Kodak are supposed to be bringing out new Super 8 cameras soon. Hopefully film price will reduce.
