I will update this site continously (last modification: aug 16, 2006)

Hi nice to meet you here, my name is Mike

I have prepared for you some special informations and tips about Super 8 films, cameras and technology which I have never  found in such compressed form anywhere else.....and I am a little bit proud to find a lot of my ideas and some copied stuff in other well known sites.... it´s good to spread the truth and do not forget the link

Sometimes I sell cameras out of my collection.. If you have special requirements please feel free to ask ..

update

Why should I use old technology cameras with expensive filmmaterial - instead of easy to use 3CCD digicams with their high sophisticated electronics?     see this important comparision: Super8 versus digital video - DV video

NEW

Fujifilm announcement: In 2007 they stop production of Single8 cartridges.

This is a bad fact, but not a real thing to put your camera into a museum. Many filmmakers     and enthusiasts uses these fine reliable and professional cameras. Worldwide there are companies producing there own Super8 filmcartridges with different filmmaterial from Kodak, Fuji and Fomapan. For them it should be easy to fit the same material into the (easy and cheap to produce) Single8 cartridge......  In future the different processing labs worldwide will be interested to get also this Single8 market which was totally controlled by Fuji Labs in Japan. Single8 has very good chances to be continued.....
