Super 8 movie film and camera
May 30, 2021 00:05:55 #
I found a exposed and undeveloped Kodak Ektachrome 160 super 8 film cartridge from many years back. Any recommendations for a place to get it developed?
The camera is a pristine Nikon 8X Super Zoom. Anyone still buying it?

Can't help with development but I bought a few old super 8 cameras from eBay to transfer some movies we had of the kids. You maybe able to sell it there

Please explain what you mean by transfer? How do you use the super 8 movie cameras if not for shooting super 8 mm films?

I used mine to play the films so I could copy them to my computer. There are several ways to do it. Using additional software and connect the camera to the computer to playing it on your tv and copying it from there with VHS or whatever.

The Dr. was mistaken. He thought you talked about the super 8 mm video format and not the super 8 film. I think Kodak still process and scan super 8 film. They introduced a new super 8 film camera a few years back and but back in that time only negative film was available. I think Kodachrome is available now and thus they will process it and give you a digital video file.
I checked on Ebay your camera is selling for about $150 on average.

Yes my first line stated I could not help with the development of the film but that the camera had use and could be sold on eBay

But you meant the video camera and not the film camera the OP has. Without being able to develop the film the camera is useless. It can not be used to play film (like a video camera can). For that you need a projector. I am not sure you're familiar with 8mm and super 8mm film.

Yes . I can play my movies on it. Yes you can. I'll send you pics when I get home on Monday

Yes please send me a picture of your camera. I bet it's a video camera and your Super 8 are tapes.

Waiting patiently on the pics. I'll bet it's a video camera, not a Super 8 film camera. Before you put the film in the camera can you hold it up to the light and see the string of pictures?

Come to think of it there is no super 8 tapes. There are 8mm tapes, Hi-8 tapes and even Digital 8 tapes but no super 8 tapes. So to say something is super 8 it must be film. But I am sure the Dr. was talking about tapes.

There was 8mm and super 8mm film. We processed it, splice-edited it, and projected it. Good transfers to digital video require a special device to match frame rates.
Many years later, there were 8mm analog video tape, Hi8 analog video tape, and Digital 8 video tape. All three could (can) be digitized and edited on computers for upload to YouTube, etc.
Confusion abounds…
