Regular 8 Color 125

This is the same emulsion as Super8 Ektachrome. You should be able to get it processed by sending it to Switzerland in one of Kodak's PK-59 processing mailers. You could also try Yale Film and Video in Burbank.

I'm surprised this stock is being called "grainy". It is a huge improvement over Ektachrome 160 type G.

Perhaps the smaller film area has something to do with this?

Hi,
I just came across a couple of rolls of regular 8 film. The can is marked CINE Color 125 VNF (7240). It is tungsten balanced @ ASA 125 or outdoors @ ASA 80 w/85 filter. Has anyone ever tried this film before? What type is it really and who processes it? I have a Bolex that I intend to film with but am hoping some one can tell me more about this stock before I begin experimenting.

THANKS---

I've used this film before and it's OK. As far as Reg 8 is concerned, it's high-speed film so that opens up some lower-light possibilities. On the other hand, it's pretty grainy so if that bothers you, maybe you ought to burn the rolls on some more 'experimental' subject matter. Personally, I love grainy images (usually). I just got some TriX back and can't believe how cool it looks.
