Dear visitor!

This page gives you a lot of background informations, tips for Super8 cameras and a lot more

Some informations e.g. the Ektachrome64 /Fuji Single8 films and some others are obsolete now -   but you will find this for historical reasons or to understand the background.

nice to meet you back again, Mike

Annoncement:_

You are looking for Super8 cameras with NEW reliable electronics and professional features? O.K look for Super8MAX - soon these are available for buying !

Do you want to get convert your  16mm Camera to Super16 ? Please have a look first at my new announced Ultra16 modification.

This was one of my projects 2010 and 2011: The Super8DM.

After nearly one year I have stopped the idea to produce and sell cameras with a 60m magazin. The interest for buying such cameras seems to low at the moment.

Last update: I had to do a lot of more things after I have made experience with my first 2 prototypes. It was necessary to control the cameramotor because it goes soon after start out of sync!  It was necessary to start a new project to develop totaly new designe electronics for Super8 cameras..... puuhhh

You know that I want to make things running better. In the past I was allways a little bit unhappy about Super8 cartridges (even the old 200ft/ 60m cartridges)

1. missing fixed pressure plate

2. only 15m cartridge available

Single8, N8 and of cause DS8 has a better framestand than Super8 cartridge - especially the old 200ft/60m Moviesound cartridge had a problem....

I have build now a first functional-model of my Super8DM (Dream-Magazine) and present the first pictures:

  • for cameras which can use the old 60m soundfilm from KODAK
  • for many other sideloader cameras which only uses 15m cartridges
  • the camera has to be modified
  • to prevent from unstable filmrun the magazin is screwmounted inside the compartment
  • a seperate pressureplate is mounted inside
  • a long lasting springbelt drives the filmspool
  • no extra electronics or motor
  • runs with 60m/200ft. daylight filmreel for BEAULIEU SD8/60

At the moment I do this construction only for my private usage.

Maybe if there is enought response and interested buyers I will found a small business...

I have not calculate a price yet. But it will be not a cheap thing for a clean modified camera complete with magazine.

Camera modifications:

  • do not need lightmeter batteries
  • light meter correction for using different ASA films
  • external power
  • optional electronic framecounter

If you like to buy, please send a mail with your technical requirements, your preferred camera (no Beaulieu!) and your acceptable price.

and what else?

  • I have encreased the output lumen of some Super8 projection units ELMO ST1200 / 800 EUMIGs with other bulbs, condensorlens, heatprotection, blower....
  • filmreels up to 600ft. for above units
  • and my dream is the construction of a  professional Super9 camera.....
