new fuji single8 films

The Super8 Reversal Lab will offer Fuji single8 films. These are new and fresh films straight out of the refrigerator. In co-operation with mister Tak Kohyama from Retro Enterprises Tokyo Japan the lab is proud to offer you these magnificent films. The processing of single8 films can be done in Japan (R25N+RT200N) or by the Super8 Reversal Lab (all others). It is also possible to get your single8 soundstriped in Japan!

Why use single8-8?
Using single8 films has many advantages. Maybe you know these, maybe you don't. The pressure-plate that keeps the film stabile when it is being exposed is a part of the camera and not of the cartridge. This makes single8 film very good, images have less problems with jitter. It is possible to rewind the full length of the film so you can re-expose [double expose] your images. This is a nice feature that you can use for fun or to make tricks and funny effects. Camera's are not so hard to buy. Specially the top Fuji models Z800 and ZC1000 are true pieces of film equipment. The Fuji R25N is a fabulous sharp and fine grain film and might become a wanted emulsion now that Kodachrome K40 is dying. Add the fact that we can get Fuji Velvia 50D and 100D in single8 now and there should be no reason why not to work with single8 systems. So start now!

system properties
Fuji single8 cartridges are long shaped, not square. The unexposed film is in the upper chamber and the exposed part is wound on the lower part of the cartridge. A very simple and effective system. But hey, this should be known facts for you...

film sensitivity
On the backside of the cartridge is a circle shape hole. The longer this part the higher the ASA settings are. Fuji camera's can read 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400ASA values. Please be carefully that your camera can handle the type of film you are using. Not all camera's can recognize all films. You can check your cartridge compartment and try to locate the little pins. Or maybe read the manual.

Single8 Fuji Retro-X black and white reversal film, (12 meter) Exposure Index 200ASA [without filter].
This is a relative new product. Please pay attention to the package which is a true artwork and real Japanese. The film itself is an Orwo black and white negative film. This means that you can process this single8 film as negative or in reversal. As a negative film you get a very grainy result. It is being sold with a reversal process since many filmmakers like to project/screen their film.
The small disadvantage of this film is that the base is not 100% clear. This means that the white is not completely white and that the film has not a high contrast. The good thing about this is that it makes it easier for video transfers. Furthermore this film has a length of 12 meter (not 15 meters) so the running time is shorter. Be aware of these facts when you use it please.
