The sad fact is that Kodachrome was the most archivable acetate film stock. Kodak was very short sighted on doing away with Kodachrome. Kodachrome was not perfect by any means but any other acetate film stock will be high maintenance. You will have to use caustic chemicals ( plug your nose) to preve...

We did have the Swedish Ikonoskop camera: http://www.retrothing.com/2005/09/an_affordable_s.html Unfortunately, the Ikonoscope was stripped down in terms of features. With 16mm, you could have automated laps dissolves like many Super 8 cameras have and you will not be limited to time due a convolut...

That's a great idea because there are very few, if any 16mm cameras that have any of the mechanical features of some of the better super 8 cameras. . Yeah, in the context of filmmaking cameras, Super 8 cameras are essentially high tech toys. Why not apply that technology on a more professional level?

As fine as our Super 8 cameras are with all of their automated features, it would be great to have Kodak and inevitably other manufacturers come out with cameras of the same concept in 16mm. Super 8 cameras have proved to be marvels of engineering and convenience for film makers. But with all of the...

That was very good!

Sorry to go off topic but does anyone know what Kodak charges for their Super 8 Tri-x?

Can somebody hand me the hammer? I have another nail for the coffin!

You say, "I am just trying to enjoy it as much as possible while it is still around because its doom is quite imminent!"

I doubt this Bulgaria factor is still on. Is this current posting? Now they invest all their energy in re-installing equipment in Italy and supposedly later all should go to Bulgaria? Who is going to operate the machines in Bulgary. All Italians are about to move to Bulgaria? The only advantage for...
