Regular 8mm Film - 7266 Super Cine-xSuper Cine-x 7266 Black and White Reversal Film - Regular 8mm (Standard 8mm) - 25ft. - $16.49
Super Cine-x is a high-speed (200 ASA) panchromatic black-and-white film with an antihalation undercoat that makes it suitable for general interior photography with artificial light.  It can also be used in daylight and is particularly useful for sports pictures taken at regular speed or slow motion in weak light (overcast sky or late in the day).  This film is charactarized by excellent tonal gradation and sharpness.    This is a great choice for indoor filming with adequate light.  It can be used outdoors, but not recommended for direct sunlight.  Processing not included.  See FAQ for our lab recomendations.

Ektachrome 100D (Cine Chrome 100D) 7285
Use in Daylight or indoors with 80A filter

Caution:  Process this film in E6 COLOR reversal process.
Handling - Load and unload your camera in subdued light.  The light side of the film must always face the camera lens.  Read your camera instruction manual.  Before closing the camera, run 3 or 4 inches of film to be sure the film advances properly and is securely attached to the take up spool.  Some cameras, such as the Canon Zoom 8, will not advance film unless the film door is closed.  For cameras that perform in this manner, you should manually advance the film by turning the spools with your fingers.  To expose the film completely, run it through your camera twice.  The first time you will expose 25 feet along half its width.  When the film has been through your camera once, reload the film into the camera and run it through a second time to expose the other half.  When you have exposed both halves of the roll, replace the rubber band around the film and put it in the can.  Have the film processed promptly after exposure.  Don't keep your movie camera and film in a hot place, such as the glove compartment or rear window of a car.

This film works well over a wide range of light conditions.  however, at the normal frames per second (16 or 18fps) sunlight will over expose this film.  This progblem can be overcome with a camera that has a variable shutter such as the Bolex P1.  Cameras such as the Bolex P1 have a variable shutter feature.  At full shutter, the shutter speed at 18 fps is 1/38 sec.  This is the shutter setting you should use for low light conditions.  The P1 also has a half shutter opening.  At this setting, the shutter speed is 1/76 sec.  This setting is the equivalent of reducing the film sensitivity to a range that allows the use of reasonable f stops in bright sun.  Although there is no mark, you can also rotate the variable shutter to 1/4 open.  This gives a shutter speed of 1/150 sec.

To use Super cine-x (ASA 200) do the following:
For low light situations set light meter to ASA 200, set variable shutter to FULL OPEN.
For bright light or outdoor sunlight situations set light meter to ASA 100, set variable shutter to HALF OPEN.
If you want to try 1/4 shutter, set light meter to ASA 50
For outdoor exposure in sunlight, the following settings work well: Lens f/16, Variable Shutter HALF OPEN, Meter setting ASA 100

You will find you can use SUPER CINE-X for stage shows, street scenes at night, sporting events, etc.  These are situations where color actually doesn't matter.  In fact, black and white looks better.
