Taking the plunge into 8mm

[j-dogg]

Found a Kodak Brownie with the 3 lenses for about 70 bones, mint, in an antique shop.

Been wanting to shoot 8mm for a project for the longest time and here is my chance, question though.....how the hell do I get something like this into digital format? From 8mm roll to digital? Is it even possible? I have a project I'm doing and I want the old 8mm film grain look.

It is very possible. Many labs such as Dwayne's Photo (www.dwaynesphoto.com) offer a Telecine service that will transfer the images of your films onto a DVD for your use. When you give them your film, they return to you a DVD and your original film back. It's great.

Well that's convenient, they're getting a roll of Kodachrome 64 from me in a couple months.

They do some good work.
