WTB: Russian reloadable cartridges

[Konton]

Does anyone know where you can get those Russian reloadable cartridges for Super 8mm film in the United States? I need to get some to test my equipment used to meaure the accuracy of my Super 8mm camnera's running speed. Please let me know if you do.

I buy that reloadable cassettes in Ukraine directly. Its costs 8.00 U$S each. The salesman is called Olexandr Kalynychenko.
Just visit his Webpage: http://www.geocities.com/russiancamera

His Kaccema reloadable cassetes works very good.

I shot it loading super 8 film from Kahl Media of Germany.

What type of film do you will use with these reloadable cassettes?
Is it possible get in the U.S. Super 8 film in spools?

Carlos:
Could you describe for us, how is the loading process of the cardriges. Is there any lab which can process this loads afterwards, or is it only considered for home developing?

Pedro: Essentially, the reloadable cassettes consist of three parts: two covers and a pricipal body, in which are two compartments ne for the load of the virgin roll and the other in where is stored the exposed film. With little of practice, the load of the virgin material is very easy. Kahl Film of Germany also sells these cassetes, and film to load it (in 15 mts. spools or 60 mts. spools) Personally I use it to reveal my own films.
Something very interesting that happens is the fact that these reloadable cassettes have a metal pressure plate, so the obtained image (frames) is much more stable that the one that offers a conventional cassette.

Ahh, I got another thing to say:
I think that?s should be the future of Super 8 film: reloadable cassettes of 15 and 60 mt., very easy to load. This would allow to lower the cost of the film, making it more accessible, Cause one of the causes for which many companies stopped to produce Super 8 film is the production of plastic descartable cassettes. (this makes more expensive the production process). Companies like Foma in the Czech Republic don't sell Super 8 film, because it very expensive for them to pack the film in cassettes (They produces double Super 8 film only).
this would allow that it has a great diversity of films for the consumer (from ASA 25 to 400 or 800, B & W or color film).
That is the way I see the future of the Super 8 film.

I'm a little confused. Do these cassettes hold 15 meters and 60 meters of film, or are they different casettes. I'm sure there are many of us who would love to get a hold of the 60 meter reloadable casettes for super 8mm.

[Carlos8]

Sadly, only exists 15 mts. reloadable cassettes (I think).
I'm searching information about 60 mts. conventional cassettes.
My idea is to build a 60 mts. Super 8 reloadable cassette.
