Yes, yes yes! How is the availability of used (is there any other kind?) Fujica ZC1000? I have this dream of buying them and coverting them to 400 loads of super 8 but I need a consistant source. Got any information? Price? Availablility? Common Source?

Thanks!

Yes please tell us what you know !

My friend has a ZC1000 and wants to shoot with it ! (And I want one too !!)

A few questions:

1 - Would Fuji accept to sell small quantity of Single8 cartridge to someone in North-America ?
2 - If I manage to get Single8 film supplies (from Japan or Europe) can I send them directly to Fuji Japan for processing ? Do I need to pay more for the additional shipping cost required to send the processed film back in NA ?
3 - Do new Single-8 cardriges are still sold process included ? If not, what is the best way to send money to them when processing ?
4 - What is the address of the Fuji processing lab in Japan. Any contact persons you know ?
5 - What are the current price of Single8 cartridge on the japan market these days ?

Thank you in advance for your time.

A 'new' ZC-1000 is for sale by Retro Enterprises in Tokyo Japan, http://www.film.club.ne.jp/item/new_8mm.html
but at Y330,000 (Approx. USD$2,578 I think it is a little pricey!

Actually the 1st post was about the availability of Single 8 stock.
