Really great video - Thank you. My late father was an amateur film-maker and shot everything on Super 8 with sound. I have a load of his old work to transfer on to a digital format to preserve history. All the best

Thanks for watching. We also shot a lot of Super 8 sound films. My dad bought the camera, but I mostly used it!

I still have my Sankyo Stereo - 800 Super 8mm sound movie porjector. The reason why I brought this was because you could record sound on the second track of the super 8 sound film somost of my home movies had music add to them.

[@catk9685]

I loved experimenting with adding sound. I did a school project on Super 8 sound film, I added commentary and music and received an A+.

Can you still gets this film developed somewhere?

[@davidkilderry1828]

Yes, just search Super 8 film processing and you'll find them all over the world.

[@kenwood4764]

And then there is the issue of converting voltage. Anything made outside of US is 22ov 50 Hz.

hi u seem to know a bit a bout projectors . I've dug mine out of attic as a find an old one that rekindled my enthusiasm. my question is I have chinon 7500 sound projector. can u change the mount that the film goes on . as my reals off film have small opening and the mounts are quite fat hope u can understand and help

[@davidkilderry1828]

Sounds like you have Regular or Standard 8mm film instead of Super 8. Best to unroll a few feet and check if it is Super 8 or Regular 8.

I'm looking for a projector recommendation. I need a projector with a great lens that produces a sharp image from corner to corner and is gentle on the film. I've tested four super 8 projectors, including the Kodak M80 with three different lenses, Kodak Moviedeck 457, Eumig Mark S 802, and Canon S-2. Among them, I found that the Kodak 457 is the most gentle to films, but the Moviedeck's and M80's lenses are very soft. The Canon's lens is sharp, but the hot bulb makes it risky to watch movies on it. Eumig was nice, but it wasn't as gentle to my films, and the lens has a very shallow depth of field. I don't need sound in the projector but don't mind if it's there. Thank you for all suggestions!

[@davidkilderry1828]

I'd be looking at one of the better Elmo sound projectors. One of the ST range, 800 or 1200 or even an SC18. They have good standard lenses but you can buy option Schneider lenses for them that really are top of the range. Good luck!

[@Threemicsrecords]

@@davidkilderry1828 Thank you!

[@kchannel5953]

Thanks for the information. Can you put a higher wattage globe into a projector than what it came with?

[@davidkilderry1828]

No. It will blow the power supply in most cases. Best bet it to change your lens to one that allows more light through like 1.2 or 1.1 or buy a projector that has a brighter bulb.

[@kchannel5953]

@@davidkilderry1828 Thanks for that. Don't have one as yet, not having much luck finding one that really works properly.

[@familysounds]

Any words on the Cannon PS1000? Tx 👍

[@davidkilderry1828]

I have only owned one years ago. Canon make solid equipment. I love my 814xls Super 8 camera.
