Putting the link in the description would make more sense than putting it up on the screen 😎
[edit] Thanks for the quick handling. Much appreciated 👍🏻 [/edit]
This podcast answered a lot of questions I had about ASA and newer Super 8 film stocks available today. And that chart is invaluable! Thanks.
Thanks guys… very helpful video! 👍🏻
Great topic. Thanks! I would love to see a wider range of Super 8 film stocks available again eg B&W negative. We do seem to be at the mercy of Kodak at the moment.
This is really cool info. I've been getting back into Super 8 (but in a more professional capacity) and have some projects coming up (on hold due to corona). I've been running test films (new and expired) through various cameras such as Eumig Mini 5 and Braun Nizo Integral 7. I have some old sound film, some new 200 and 500T. Going to be experimenting with speeds too. I have been mostly using Film Photography Project to process and even purchase some of the film stock. I live in Northern Ireland and send them off to New Jersey and the results are always amazing. I cannot recommend these guys enough. Legends! Any issues are user error ha ha! -Jonny
Thanks so much Jonny! We're here for ya! - Mike
Nikon R8 or R10. Amazing cameras. You should do a feature on them.
I wish Kodak and some other companies still sell super 8 camera
I printed the super 8 notch ruler and put it into my canon 814XLS and hey, the pins of the camera are stationary, so I dont really understand how the notch ruler works! How do I know how many ISO's can my camera read when I put any X cartridge inside? It's not very clear how to read the notch ruler interacts with the pins inside the camera. For what I saw, my 814XLS has 6 pins that is from A to F in the notch ruler, but how do I know how a specific emulsion is being read with this ruler since all the pins stay the same? Thanks!
Hey guys,,, was at a thrift store today and purchased a Leica minilux 35 mm camera for 2 bucks. !!!!!! I’m literally shitting myself!!!!! I popped in a new 123 battery and it works great!! The question is should I keep it,,, ?? or sell it ,, to stock up on super 8 film,,,, or maybe get a double 8 camera and some quality fpp film....what would y’all do?
I'm new to super 8 and don't have much knowledge of photography. I think my camera automatically exposes 40 and 160 asa but it also allows manual exposure. If i was shooting a 100d film I know it's not that far off 160 but I was wondering how would you use the manual exposure to shoot at 100 asa.
Personal experience - use AUTO with Super 8. Your Ektachrome will be fine at 160. - Mike
@@FilmPhotographyProject what if my film is expired how do I manually set the iso to overexpose
@@FilmPhotographyProject Interesting that you have found that. Can you say a bit why?
My camera can detect 40 or 160 iso. I've got a cartridge of khul 125 iso which I'm going to shoot on a bright day. I'm guessing I can leave the camera to auto meter without too many worries.. It's colour negative film, so should have decent latitude?
Agree! Let "auto" do the job! Good luck shooting!
@@FilmPhotographyProject appreciate your response, thank you.
so i have a canon 814xl electronic. and when i put it the 500T film the automatic exposure says it’s underexposed . even though i thought that film was able to shoot in lowlight situations. (i’ve seen many examples) is my camera not able to read the 500t on automatic exposure? how am i suppsoed to shoot it
Some cameras can not detect 500 iso. If indoors with all the lights on, will probably be fine.
@@FilmPhotographyProject do u think the canon 814xl can read 500iso?
I have the Canon 814xl electronic as well. I recently shot 500T at night just using auto settings. It looks great!
Take it off of auto. There are plenty of iOS or Android light meter apps you could use. But even if you left it on auto, 500T would be plenty usable, especially on an XL camera.
That's strange that it would be telling you that; the camera can read up to ISO 400, and I believe that's what V3 500T is notched for. That's one time I would consider ignoring what it says. That camera with that film can all but see in the dark.
I recently got a yashica super 8 25 camera and i think it only goes up to 40 asa for tungsten film and 25 for daylight, i ordered some 200t kodak film and was wondering if it would be too overexposed? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Color 50D is a better option. The 200T has a wide attitude so the negative can be color graded to not be so over exposed.
@@FilmPhotographyProject So 200t would work just ok if I understand right? I'm stuck having to use it since I'm going on a trip and don't have time to reorder some 50D and have it be here in time
Yes, will be fine. The FPP color grades the film when we scan - filmphotographystore.com/collections/fpp-scanning-services/products/develop-scan-service-super-8-film-50-ft-rolls
Great! It's good to know I haven't wasted money on a film that wouldn't work. I really appreciate the help. Thank you!
Because the Yashica 25 uses an external meter, you could put ND on it to adjust the film ISO to match what the camera is expecting. For example, a 2 stop ND would change 200 ISO film to effectively 50 ASA, close enough for the Yashica. You would need 43mm filters, or a step-up ring to 49mm or 52mm to more easily find filters.Of course, you lose the higher speed this way, but not a problem outdoors.
Super 8 never truly "died." Super 8 merely "diminished" out of the mainstream consumer market and became a niche product.
