It's pretty bizarre. Are there more Super-8 camera users than 35mm users left? Surely not. |

Not entirely shocking. The motion picture film division is still in the black, apparently. It may be that this was extra from a custom order or the narrow ends of another process run or the like.
I don't know why they just don't start using motion film for still cameras. It seems that would reduce overhead. _________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/hancockDavidM |

If they start using motion film without any remjet, I doubt many people buy roll films. Believe me, motion films are wayyyy better than plain roll films. |

It could be, I've seen a lot of really nice 8mm cameras in charity shops over the last couple of years on sale for peanuts, they have been virtually giving them away, And they sell quickly, I go in a few days later and they're gone.
I'm sure there are people just like us in the moving picture world. _________________ LENSES & CAMERAS FOR SALE.....
I have loads of stuff that I have to get rid of, if you see me commenting about something I have got and you want one, ask me.

The development process is different. Motion film uses a process called ECN-2. The film has a special anti-halation backing which has to be removed chemically and would clog regular minilabs.
There used to be a lab in Hollywood, called RGB that would cut up motion picture film and sell it in rolls of 36 exposures and process it. You could actually get the rolls for free at Kodak and Fuji for testing new stocks.
As far as I know the lab had to close down a few years ago. |
