Looking for a small amount of film leader. I dont need a whole 50 ft maybe only 10 ft or so of super 8mm leader.I have no preference on color or if its used. Just need a little bit to put on a few films.

Just bought 50' that I'll probably never consume. Email me your USPS mailing address, and I will send you some.

No charge.

My pleasure. It will go to the US Post Office tomorrow.
This gives me an opportunity to "pay forward" a favor provided to me by a forum member - Zechariah Sporre - some weeks ago. I was working a telecine bulb brightness issue, and he popped up offering a free bulb that I needed. (I sure did not want to experiment with my only lamp!) He mailed it to me for free, So... "It's all good!"

got the package with the leader today.

Is this super 8 leader or regular 8mm

Posted by Dominique De Bast (Member # 3798) on August 24, 2013, 12:23 AM:

Super 8 has smaller perforations holes and a larger picture size. The easiest way to be sure is to compare with one of your super 8 films. If the leader is not the same gauge as your film, you will see it immediately.

I bought it as regular 8. I have nothing super 8. But, I have not used any of this, yet.

I think I need my eyes checked. Difficult to tell which is which. 16mm easier. Anyways I think I own more 8mm than super 8

I appreciate the leader,very helpful

If you cannot see a difference it may be because all your films are the same gauge. Otherwise, from the size of the perforation you can tell what it is : small holes : super 8, larger holes (same size as 16mm) : regular 8.

Yeah,I noticed Super 8 is aligned to the middle of the frame. 8mm is on the break.

Does super 8 have a bigger picture than reg 8?

Wider

The regular 8 mm spools have a small hole in the centre, the super 8 ones have a big hole. It may help.
