This is what they say : "On this workshop you will specifically learn how to expose Kodak's Vision 3 line of negative film stock with a Super 8 camera to attain a reversed, projectable image. The course also covers everything from basic camera operation (such as setting the viewfinder to your eye sight) to more advanced functions and features like slow motion, variable shutters, ee locking, time lapse, manual exposure and fades. You will gain an advanced understanding of how the camera and the film cartridge interacts with each other to determine ASA, filtration and mechanical indexing at the optical interface. Film and cameras will be provided on the day.
In the evening you will learn how to process colour negative film with E-6 chemicals to achieve a positive image. This is done with adding baths and ammending processing times. You will learn how to load, develop, splice, dry and project your cine film on the course. The reversal process will be explained thoroughly and after the workshop is complete you will fully grasp how light forms the colour reversal image. We will cover the best methods of practice in regards to unloading film from a cartridge and installing it into a lomo developing tank. We will also show you how to make your own home-built darkroom and drying racks."

Though I am happy that such services exist, it does demonstrate how far Super 8 has moved away from it's original market.
For me to shoot 3 minutes of color footage that I can project the traditional way, it'll cost close to $70.00 by the time I pay for the cost of the film, processing, and shipping. And that's the cheapest alternative I've found using one of the few color reversal films still available which frankly I don't like very much.
What the Widescreen option does, is let someone get far better results using modern color negative film. But it's even more expensive. An alternative is to just have it scanned rather than printed on a positive, but that's not cheap either.
So for our annual party at the lake this year, I'll be filming in black and white. One reel will be some some long expired 8mm Kodachrome that I'll be processing as black and white. And the other will be Kodak Plus-X.
I considered using color negative film but the Vision 3 50D would have taken too long to get here and I'm not quite comfortable with what it would take to process it on my own yet. And it's too costly for me to have it done professionally
