This is a short video showing one of my antique wind-up 8mm movie cameras. This is a Kodak Brownie II movie camera. It still works, and I've actually shot movies with it. You can still get 8mm film online, and in fact 8mm and Super-8 is making a comeback because people like the vintage look. You can get 8mm movie film (also Super-8 and even 16mm) from www.k14movies.com, or just search on Google for "Dwayne's Photo" in Parsons, Kansas. They sell and develop all kinds of movie film. That's where I get mine.

Can you tell me the website that sells the 8mm film? I'm also looking for a bulb for an antique 8mm movie projector.

Sure, go to k14movies (dot) com. They sell and develop 8mm and Super-8 film. I did see a website that sells light bulbs that will replace common light bulbs used for projectors, but I don't remember where it is.

You can also just do a Google search for "Dwayne's Photo" in Parsons, Kansas. It's the same company.

Well, yeah it was an 8mm camera, but not this kind. I read that it was a Bell and Howell "Director's Series" camera. I actually have one of those too! I've shot a roll of flim with it too, so maybe I'll try to post it sometime.

i just came across an old Kodak M80-L with a universal slicer (8) still boxed.. could you give me an info on this (what year it was made,what it is worth now etc,etc) than you!

Well, I'm not an expert on these! I'm just getting into collecting old movie cameras myself. I've never heard of a Kodak M80-L. Is it a projector or a camera? Most 8mm cameras aren't worth much, especially the common mass produced brands like Kodak and Bell and Howell. I got the one in the video for about $12 with shipping! They're nice to collect, and they film good movies. But usually they aren't worth much unless it was a special or higher end camera.

thanks for the quick reply ct92404 ...(it is a projector by the way)plus the first comment should have read splicer..HA HA! I made it sound like something you get on the shopping channel for cutting vegetables LOL!!!

you know what would be awesome? if you could make a video of you putting the film, actually taking it out of the box and putting it in the camera, because I'm still confused with the film, that'd be pretty great. thanks! and i love the brownie movie cam! (:

Sure, I could do that. It's actually really easy to load. In fact, those Kodak Brownie cameras are probably the easiest ones to load.

this might be a dumb question but what the hell, so you can use any 8mm film? i'm trying to buy some on the internet but i'm still not sure, also thanks for teh fast response anyway looking forward for your video (:

You can buy 8mm ... ( 3 months ago by ct92404)

You can buy 8mm movie film from Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas. Just check on their website at k14moves(dot)com. Go to "order forms" and "movie film for sale." You want regular 8mm movie film, not Super-8 for these kind of cameras. But yeah, you can use any kind of Regular 8mm movie film. The only thing is that you just have to be sure the camera can handle the speed of the film. Some kinds of 8mm film are more light sensitive and a really old camera might overexpose it.

I would use ... ( 3 months ago by ct92404)

I would use Cinechrome 40. It's actually Kodak Kodachrome film. It's a really nice, low speed color film and it will work with any of these old cameras. Unfortunately, Kodak is going to stop making Kodachrome film. But Ektachrome 100D is a good color film too, and it's actually a new film so it's not going anywhere. You can use it with a slower camera if you use a neutral densitity filter over the lens to lower the exposure. Some old cameras can handle it fine though, like Bolex cameras.

can you post how you load the camera please

Hey ct92404!Like the the short demo of your 8mm camera LoL...Actualy I just baught a Bell&Howell One and NiNe ....I googled it and got some info but nothing too helpfull so maybe you can help me out,this Bell&Howell One and Nine(model number) does it support double 8mm film?also do you know if this cameras shutter speed is fast enough for the more light sentive film?Im going to order from that website you wrote about in kansas and thought I ask first before I order,Thanks In advance:)

yeah, that camera ... ( 4 days ago by ct92404)

yeah, that camera would use double 8mm film. Actually, I think I have that one too. I have a bunch of Bell and Howell cameras. Unfortunately, I just noticed that Dwayne's Photo is out of double 8 Cine Chrome (Kodachrome) movie film. So it looks like you'll have to use the 100D film. I don't know if that camera is fast enough, it might overexpose the film. But you could use a neutral density filter on the lens. Message me and we can talk more about it. I'll help if I can.

I'm kind of bummed ... ( 4 days ago by ct92404)

I'm kind of bummed now too...because I have a bunch of cameras that probably can't handle the new film without some kind of neutral densitiy filter. Kodak is going to stop making Kodachrome. I don't get it. They're making a new kind of film, but then stopped production of a very popular low ISO film that's great for old movie cameras. But if you got a camera with an adjustable shutter speed, or if you used a neutral density filter, you can use any speed film.

Do they still make ... ( 3 days ago by wilkes85)

Do they still make super 8 film? I have a super 8 camera, and there's a super 8 film projector at the thrift store as we speak. I'm gonna go buy it when I get more money, but I'd like to be able to use these devices.

Also, there are a ... ( 3 days ago by ct92404)

Also, there are a lot of other companies besides Kodak that make movie and photographic film. You just have to look online. Everyone thinks film is "dead" but that is definitely NOT true at all. That's mostly just hype and internet rumors. I've just started taking black and white photos and developing the film and pictures myself. I haven't tried Super 8 film yet, but so far I've shot about 4 or 5 rolls of 8mm movie film. And I watch it on a real 8mm projector too :)
