This is really great news Shane. I have always liked my all metal Bolex C8 better than my plastic Chinon Super 8 camera. I like the idea of loading the roll of film into the camera, setting aperture and focus manually, and winding it up before every shot! This is the way I learned to use a cine camera, and the lack of automation does not bother me a bit. Also the results are spectacular, with the camera having an all metal gate and a prime non-zoom lens.
Do you know if Dwayne's will process this film?

Hi Paul, Dwayne's should have no problem developing this film. I believe they develop all Ektachrome formats that use E6 which includes regular 8. Yeah I too like the all metal cameras and have a nice Bolex K2 with a switar lens that is superb. Although my Elmo Super 110 for the Super 8 format is one nice camera and all metal. It dates to the early 70's.

You mean that i might actually be able to use my ancient but mint condition Bell and Howell 252 standard 8mm movie camera, perhaps for the first time in over 40 years? That would be worth the 25 or so bucks, to be sure!

[Shane C. Collins]

Yep Osi it looks like you'll be able to dust off that old Bell & Howell and shoot some film! I'm considering buying a roll for the Bolex. I've shot way more Super 8 these days and the new Ektachrome is superb! But regular 8 is tempting again.
