Some film projector reels come with plastic ones to convert them between standard-8 and super-8. Have a look around on ebay and examine the photos closely to find the ones that do.

Here is a picture of a V-groove wheel I purchased for another project that would work well for a ladder dolly. I get them for $15 each at a local steel fabrication supply shop. They are used for gate rollers and can support hundreds of pounds. http://www.filmshooting.com/scripts/gallery/albums/forum...

Re: Fuji Film's processing system comes back!

So, are you saying that this is permanent? Are they producing film also?

Thanks,

No. I did not click on a link from an email. I was redirected from the normal eBay login screen. I did not follow any other link, I went right from the normal shortcut I have in my favorites.

The clip I posted is only one from a long roll so I will try to post a better example. I also may have had bad focus during the transfer. Projected the film does not look so so...
