Unfortunately Super 8 Sound film was discontinued long ago in 1997. I have seen postings on the internet of people making a sound film, but I don't know if they were successful in marketing it to the masses.

[cheezbeenzriz]

how do you even watch it through a projector?

[bandit9ca]

@cheezbeenzriz

Yes you watch the film through a projector, but you have to send the film to a lab to be processed first. Sadly the last Kodachrome film lab closed last December.

@bandit9ca They don't process Kodachrome color film anymore, but they still do process black-and-white Kodachrome film.

@BTBattlefronTV I have heard some people doing this and seen some examples on Vimeo of processed Kodachrome as a B&W negative film (Sepia and reversal versions too). Do you know of lab in North America that will process Kodachrome as a B&W negative at a reasonable price? I heard Film Rescue International maybe able do it but for a considerable price and turnaround time.

@BTBattlefronTV Thanks for the link. I'll have to look into this some more.

@BTBattlefronTV--To the best of my knowledge, Kodak stopped processing the B&W film ages ago. Back in the early 1990's, I got a few silent B&W rolls. On the film cartridge label (speaking as if it was 1993), it said that Kodak did not process those films even back then. We ended up sending it to a different company nto affiliated with Kodak.

@BTBattlefronTV--I wonder where one can send these 200' rolls for developing in this day and age? I have never seen one of these, I've only heard and read about them. Back in the days, one of my folks was really into that super 8 stuff. We still have our vintage, sound, super 8 camera, and it's in pristine condition.
