Double Super 8

[robert moseley]

Can anyone advise me whether Double Super 8 reversal film is available, e.g. Kodachrome 40 or Kodak Plus X or Quartzchrome. I am in the U.K. I know that Widescreen sell negative Double 8 stock, but this is unsuitable because I project the film in the traditional way.

try foma.cz
they sell very cheap double super eight, ive bought 15m for 17dm, which is 8$ i suppose, develloping is not included.
also try www.fotoimpex.de, they have interesting offers aswell.

Thanks for this information. I see that the Kodak stock is K25. Is this the same as K40 without the use of the wratten 85 filter or is it a different stock? Also, is it likely Kodak will discontinue this stock? I think I have seen messages indicating that Kodak have ceased production of 35 mm K25 roll film.
Does anyone have experience of comparing Double Super 8 with cartridge loading Super 8. Is the image sharper with the camera's pressure plate? Can the double Super 8 spool be easily rewound outside the camera?

I bought 3 rolls of Foma's DS8 film at Czhec for under 5$ per roll! That was over a year ago and the films are still in my fridge (try to find double super 8 camera from finland)
