I had an email from someone that just acquired a 1955 Brownie Camera Turret F/1.9....is their anywhere this person may be able to buy 8mm film for this camera? And obviously where would the film need to be processed?

Hello John. I think standard 8 films are availabe in the US at cheaper costs than in Europe, so you may wait to see if an American source is mentionned here. I know two European companies in case you wish more choice : http://www.widescreen-centre.co.uk/Catalogue/Standard_8_Film.html and http://www.wittner-kinotechnik.de/katalog/04_filmm/d8_filmm.php The second page is in German but not difficult to understand.

Here is a link to Yale Video and Film in Burbank, CA. They offer 8mm film as well as 8mm processing. Call them to discuss processing before sending your film in.

Good to know about Yale Film in Burbank, CA. I called them and they said they are currently out of the 8mm B/W Orwo UN 54 (25') but they always have demand for it and get shipments. You can email them at: info@yalefilmandvideo.com
They will put you on the list and notify you when it comes in. Super 8 Kodak Tri-X is in stock and available. Outside the US It looks like Widescreen in the UK has the 8mm Orwo in stock. Thanks for posting, very exciting to hear this is still available.

Has any one seen either the New Agfa 200 Daylight E-6 or the 40 Kodak EKTACHROME 100D Color Reversal Film 7285 Super 8 color film for sale anywhere? I called Yale Film in Burbank but they've had no luck procuring the Agfa for several months now. The Kodak was discontinued. Thanks for any help.

Wittner in Germany sells Agfa stock http://www.wittner-kinotechnik.de/katalog/04_filmm/s8_filmm.php Super 8 ciné in France sells Kodak film but only process paid (from a French laboratory) http://www.super8-cine.fr/index.php?pg=produits&prod=Films+Super8

Ferrania....
an Italian film manufacturer has stated they plan to introduce an 8mm/ super 8 color reversal film in the near future.

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on May 23, 2014, 09:57 PM:

Indeed, Thomas. Here is the message from Ferrania's facebook, dated 16 th April 2014 : "Just few words to reassure all of them who are following us since many months: We are still Alive and Kicking, just a little bit slower than expected. Why? The assumption for a any revolution is that it must be durable in the future and in order to catch this goal some more work is needed. Cryptic message? Please, trust in us and stay tuned. More details soon. Nicola Baldini"
