What Kind OF Film Can I Use With A Minolta Xl-401??

Hi, kind of a novice here, i dabble in random bits of art here and there, thought i'd try out super 8 film.

can anyone recommend some color film that would work with said camera???


Much thanks

Any Super 8 50-ft silent film cartridge will work with this camera. Super 8 is a gauge of film, so any Super 8 camera will accept any Super 8 film (with the exception of sound film, which isn't produced anymore, and 200 ft cartridges, which also aren't produced anymore.) As far as I know, all cameras that could take sound or larger cartridges could also take the smaller/silent ones. Basically, any modern type of Super 8 film that you can buy today will work with this camera.

what astrasled said is true, but you need to check whether your camera will automatically meter the film-stock you want to use.

from what i can see on super8wiki.com your camera should be ok with ektachrome 100d, kodak vision3 200t, plus-x or tri-x.

but i'm not 100% sure, sorry

That camera will automatically meter your film stock so you should be fine.

Minolta is a one of the best movie camera. There are so many features worked in this system. 200T film you can use with your Minolta. It's very easy to use. This camera has Zoom Rookor lens which helps zoom out the picture. It is a very high technology of camera which is using in the film.

I wouldn't go that far. The Minolta XL-401 is a nice camera but I wouldn't call it "one of the best." It's certainly a great camera for a beginner, though.
