They are not working on the section but more likely on getting a cartrdige which works with this material.
Kind regards,

This looks really exciting, because they offer DS8 and 100ft 16mm spools of Velvia 50D! So is this going to be a steady film supply operation, or touch and go?
100D and Vision 3 please

The two guys that started this business were on CNN. They are Polaroid "freaks" that started a Polaroid museum and built it into any online distributor and boutique for many discontinued Polaroid products, such as film for SX-70 cameras.

I have purchased film from them and it arrived from Europe in three days. IMO their service is excellent, but users lament their very very high prices.

I suppose the goods are warranted etc. But indeed expensive.

Notice the books etc extremely expensive.

I bought a SX-70 onestep in mint condition in carry bag at Euro 20 and use it with 600 film. Not completely the sx-70 teints. But alas.

BTW they started the SX-70 business and have retail experience. GK-film started the Cinevia product and seem to have teamed up with unsaleble. Must be better then the previous chagrin laden set-up. The design of the artwork is much better and radiates some ciné-joy.

It's really encouraging but I'm not getting excited until we actually see and hear of a working solution for Velvia in super 8.... As far as we know they are still in the same position as before in this respect, a great idea but not an actual product..... yet that is.

looks like DS8 and 16mm are ready to order. I'd get some if I wasn't broke right now. thats why I hope it's a continual thing this time.

Well, they are working on it, something that others don't.

Good news and charming website.

So are they re-designing the super 8 cartridge in some way? Maybe improving the old design, solving the quality issues of recent Kodak carts maybe?

I assume they're manufacturing their own carts and not using recycled ones then?

Looks like the new holy grail of contemporary super 8 remains elusive for a bit longer...
