I will be dabbling in 8mm and Super 8 in a few months. I'm slowly acquiring items I will need. To start I will be using Tri-X reversal Super 8 and Fomapan R100 8mm; color may come later. I've most the chemicals I need to mix the solutions - doing it correctly is another story
I have cameras, projectors, a couple screens, and a table-top editor. I will likely purchase a Lomo UPB tank (and slitter for the double-8 film).
Can anyone suggest current (new) products and online vendors for the following in both 8mm and Super 8? (I'm in the U.S.A.)
50-foot reels
leader
splicing tape
I can find these items easily by searching the web, but figured it best to ask for experience-based recommendations.
Thanx, that will help. I have some of my grandfather's equipment, and while the leader is still good, I don't trust the splicing tape - it's from the 70s or 80s.
Oh Yes, Splicing tape. Their are two kinds of splicers. The "presstape" style that takes perforated tape and the style that punches the perfs into a plaiin strip of tape.
