Check out this site for good prices on brand new super 8mm stock. Great to know it is still being made!

Hi Adam,

I've just recently started to shoot Super-8 again myself and I buy my stock direct from Kodak:

Kodak Web Store

It's not quite the same as 10 years ago when I was buying 10 rolls of K40 at a time and going through them in a few months, but it's still a nice feeling to get home from work and have a roll of processed movie film in my mailbox!

Adam, unless you are talking something else, but the Ektachrome 100D has been around for 3 years.

Dwayne sells it even cheaper at $17 each.

My point is its still arround...Not that its a new thing but that it can be purchased factory new. Plus I know the owners of this store and am trying to help them out a bit...

12 years ago when I got back into 8mm it was amazing that you could still buy film: these days it's downright miraculous!

A friend of mine was absolutely shocked to learn I was still filming with Super-8.

He sputtered "-but where do you get film?!"

-I said "Kodak."

I should have said "Twice a week a mule train leaves a secret city deep in the Himalayas, there is film on the third mule."

-make it seem more exotic!

Got it!....then the correct term is "Fresh stock" instead of "New". Anyway I supposed I should not mention Dwayne then in this thread. [Razz]
