I have exposed film, super 8mm with sound. It says Ektachrome Safety Film, and also a triangle indicating the year 1978. Is there any way to determine the exact type of film this is, or at least the ISO?

Hi Adam, Since it's a sound cartridge, It would be Ektachrome 160, a film used for shooting in low light situations. Hope this helps.
