I recently picked up a Revere Eight 70 8mm Magazine camera. I have pretty much inferred from long research that the magazines are very hard to come by, however I have found "Kodachrome Double 8" film. Would this work in my camera? And if not, any ideas on where to get film, or at least an empty magazine that I can load film in manually? Here is a picture of the camera.
Thats not mine, but it's the exact camera I found. Thanks for any and all help.
out of curiosity, i have also come across a few super 8 and plain 8mm cameras in my time. how does one get a chance to use them? surely there are filmmakers out there... oliver stone for example, who still experiment in these formats... where would they procure the film for this?
Both regular 8 and super 8 film is still avaliable.
I don't know where you can buy film in your country
but I suspect if you check around you'll find it. Start
with a transfer house like Diskbank or Videohouse
Productions in Sydney.
After I made this thread, I found a crumpled up paper inside the case that it came with that read "8mm Magazine. Kodachrome. Outdoor. Not Super 8." What do you suppose this means? It was hand written on a piece of paper.
It means that the film used in that camera isn't
super 8. It's 8mm also called Regular 8.
"Kodachrome" was a brand name for a type of film
stock that was very common in both regular 8 and
super 8. Rated at 25ASA and 40ASA (Type A) it
was a beautiful stock with amazing color and made
to be used outdoors in sunlight.
