This is what you need if you want to have your own copy.

It is in Toronto, not far from my location.

Anyone is interested?

Winbert,

That is wonderful; I have never seen an optical printer that actually could take Super-8.

Somebody from one of the forums should buy it; they would know how to put it to good use.

It looks like a blowup machine from 8mm or super 8mm to 16mm. What we call in the industry a 'boat anchor'.

An expensive one Larry.

Great engineering in a lot of this equipment, but little use for it today.

Ooof! I'm out!

Hey, Hi Micheal! I wrote you a PM on the other forum, did you get it?

Hmmmm,

I could make 16mm blow-ups of my S-8 Kodachrome footage from the 70es and 80es, using low-contrast intermediate stock from Kodak...ah, but the $5000...wait, that's my rent for quite a while [Big Grin]

One must take a moment to admire such gear. If we don't, who will?

The owner has replied my email saying that this can make a positive (using reversal stock) or negative print on super 8mm out of 16mm, but not 35mm.

You can stay outside for quite a while, can't you Claus ? [Big Grin]
