Regular 8 stock

**dr.sanchez** · July 7th, 2002, 04:53 PM

For anyone who shoots Regular 8 film: I just asked John Schwind (my main supplier of Reg 8 film) if there are plans to carry other stocks. He said Kodak is prepared to list EXR50D film (I assume it's Ektachrome, 50 speed, Daylight) but wanted to know if there is a demand for it. There is a demand from me but I would like to see if others are interested. Actually, I'm more interested in some higher-speed film; for about the same price they could offer their 320 tungsten film. I'm all about super big grain, apparently.

So, would any of you shoot other Reg 8 stocks if they were available?

David.

i shoot regular 8 now. i'd like to see a negative stock available on 100ft spools. like a vision stock, maybe an asa 100. i'd also like to see a black & white negative. like the plus-X they offer in 16mm. or a t-max 100! the ilford stocks would be nice too.

EXR 50D is not an Ektachrome stock, it's color negative rated at 50ASA, daylight-balanced. Same as Pro8/45.

That B&W negative would work for me. I'm trying to make some products and 8mm prints would be easier using Neg instead of half processing Reversal to get a neg..

I could EXPOSE the color for a print, but, onto what stock? I couldn't process it, don't want to anyway.

I guess the neg color would transfer to video better.
