Super 8 Stocks available from KODAK

Kodak Kodachrome 40 -DISCONTINUED
Gives very saturated colours and contrasty stock. Does not handle overexposure very kindly, begins to blow out after 1 1/2 stops over exposure. Not so forgiving, best to get your exposure bang on. 2/3rd stop underexposure yields a better image, but do not underexpose severely. Kodak has discontinued production of K-40 as of May 9th 2005, get it while you can!

Kodak Plus-X 7265 B&W Reversal: 100ASA (daylight) 80ASA (tungsten)
Gives you a sharper, finer image with less apparent grain, however it requires more light to be able to get an image. Suitable for daylight exteriors.

Kodak Tri-X 7266 B&W Reversal: 200ASA (daylight) 160ASA (tungsten)
Gives you the ability to shoot in lower light situations. Don't expect to be shooting at night with no lights though. You will get increased grain in the image do to it's sensitivity. May want to use Neutral Density filters when shooting in bright sunlight to avoid over exposure.

Kodak Ektachrome VNF 7240 colour reversal: 125ASA - DISCONTINUED
Gives you a nostalgic feel, desaturated, dulled colours and larger grain structure similar to Tri-X. Good for available light situations. May want to use Neutral Density filters when shooting in bright sunlight to avoid over exposure.

Ektachrome 64T E-6 7280
Brand New. Sharp and Saturated colour stock. Still quite grainy, but much improvements over the old VNF 7240. Not quite as fine grain as the kodachrome film, but has a much better latitude. You can see more detail in the shadows and highlights, making this stock more forgiving for under and overexposure. Recommended that you shoot with an 85B filter rather than the internal camera filter to get accurate colour reproduction (will have a very very slight blue cast to the image if the internal filter is used). This colour shift CAN be corrected in the telecine transfer to video process.

*Vision 2 Negative 7217 200t
Great latitude, very forgiving for over/underexposure. Not bad in low light. To shrink your grain and get a slicker image, overexpose by 2/3rds of a stop. May want to use Neutral Density filters when shooting in bright sunlight to avoid over exposure.

*Vision 2 Negative 7218 500t
Great latitude, very forgiving for under/overexposure. Great in low light, however the grain structure is a lot more apparent than in the 7217 (200t). To shrink your grain and get a slicker image, overexpose by 2/3rds of a stop. Will want to use Neutral Density filters when shooting in bright sunlight to avoid over exposure.

*IMPORTANT
If shooting outdoors with Vision 2 negative stocks, you must use a seperate daylight (85) filter. Your internal filter will not engage with this film stock and you WILL have blue footage if shooting outdoors.
