According to the super8.tv (link), "rumors are growing that the merger of several internationally active companies in the photographic sector could soon lead to the premiere of further Super 8 film types."

Has anyone else heard of these rumors? Which companies those might be?
 
We would also need affordable labs + scanning. I didn't understand back then how lucky we were having Alhoslab in town ..
 
Later this year I will attempt to launch just that. An affordable Super 8 process and scan service. There will be a Kickstarter so stay tuned if you love Super 8, as I do.

Yeah, Alhoslab was fun & quite an experience. I had the chance to hang around and occasionally help Antti with some things. He had plans to build a new, more compact film processing machine but unfortunately that wasn't meant to be. BTW, such film processing machines can nowadays be ordered from Ukraine
 

Yes I visited his original lab too one time fetching my film. Can you link to those processing machines, would be interesting to see.

(hmm, how hard could it be to build a machine that pulls film with leader through rollers.. no, no, no, don't)
 

It's the Orwo/ Inoviscoat merger that's being referred to, I think.
