    Question

    Shot a movie on super 8 about 10 years ago, just wondered if you could still buy super8 in the uk, and where about would give a good deal?

    Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

    Yes you can get Super-8 film in the UK.

    The "best" deals will probably always be by buying Super-8 via the internet.

    On the other hand, if you buy from a local store, you are supporting Super-8 as a viable format which helps perpetuate it's existence.

    If you do a google search.... Super8 film UK, you should get a few good leads.

    Jessops - In most UK high streets - ?11.99 for K40 and about ?14 if your lucky enough to find Tri-X

    Widescreen Centre - K40 is about ?14 and they stock other filmstocks too.

    www.7dayshop.com - K40 is ?8.99 a roll. If you a serious stills photographer like me this is !THE! place to get filmstock. Dead cheap!


    Your local independant camera shop - Typically 12.99 for K40.

    Thanks Technicolor. So the cheapest price is via the internet, and the more expensive prices might bring you either hospitality or additional info, but don't count on it when it comes to Super-8!

    But if you do find a pro-super 8 sales person, you might enjoy the connection. Who knows, maybe they might even hook you up on a gig!
