Is this still available anywhere? If anyone has a link to a place to purchase this tape, it would be much appreciated. [Smile]

Thanks. Unfortunately they only have the 4-frame version, but at this point in time it's probably the best I can do.

Could they be cut in half?
You can obtain both 4-frame and 2-frame from Germany. See link.

Yes they can be cut in half, but not really recommended from article I once read.

When I used to used super 8 in my camera, at the editing stage I used to cut them. Once the final edit was done I checked them and found a couple were poor around the edges, so I replaced them with four frame ones.

I now only used the four frame ones.

One thing make sure the film is really clean. I use IPA to get any grease off.
