They print a frame on 620 film.I think the super 8mm version uses 120 film -which I understand is obsolete.I used to do my own developing and fixing Win. The results were not really worth the effort!

120 film is still available from Fuji and Kodak.
620 film has been obsolete for years.
The only difference between the two is the spool that the film is wound onto.
620 spools had small lugs on each end, and 120 spools have slots.

I still have a CINELARGER here. I used it several times in the 1970s with really good results. You snap in the frames of super 8 film you want to photograph (without cutting the film), and then expose it to a really bright lamp for a few seconds, then have the film roll processed. I do believe it was 120 film as Trev said. I bought the whole deal, lamp and all, from Superior Bulk Film Co. Those were the days!

I seem to recall seeing a special lens for a 35mm SLR that had a slot for Super-8 at the front. You just aligned the film, made sure there was enough light, and snapped a "screen shot".

Does anybody else remember this?

I also remember a photo store in New York City (...maybe Willoughby's?) advertising this cheap little camera that captured Super-8 frames on 126 cartridge film. It was all of about 10 dollars back in the '70s. At the time I was going into the City pretty often, but never got around to buying one.

(...good thing I didn't: working in one obscure film size is enough!)

Steve,

Century Optics made such a device. I have one for 16mm. It consists of a lens with the proper extension tube and then a film holder with a diffusion glass. I saw one recently on ebay, although I don't recall a Super8 version, they well could have made one. The company was run by Chris Condon back then and he was a master of the odd and unusual. He sold the company and then founded Sterevision where he made up his own split projection lenses for over/under 3-D projection.
