The best thing we can all do RIGHT NOW is pick up the phone (in the USA and dial 1-800-621-FILM and order a CASE of your favorite super 8 film stock. (20 carts) Or whatever you can. The point is BUY FILM. Then USE IT! An then Buy some more and use it too. Kodak direct sales are fantastic, affordable and fast shipping. There's no minimum cart purchase. So, order 5 E64T's 5 ea Tri & Plus X and for some fun experimentation order a mixed batch of Vision negative films. If you're a student you can get a 30% discount and they even have an online ordering system if you have an .edu email addy! A case can be had for about $200!
Some other excellent film use ideas: Have you archived all of your ancestors photos? Think digital is the way? THINK AGAIN! Digital is good, but film is forever! After all isn't that photo 50-150 years old already? The BEST digital photos in the world are those scanned from negatives to a CD ROM. Three back up formats in one shot: The negative, the print, and the CD ROM which you can make many copies of.
Raymond, I'd love to know where that film slitting/ perforating gear is now. I know many people who'd give a limb to get a hold of it. I know several who've long disscussed the wont/ need for taking any film stock and repurposing it for 8mm formats. Let me know if you have any idea...
NOW GET OUT AND SHOOT SOME FILM!!!!
Cheers,
