Matt Stevens Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Okay, this may sound strange, but I dropped off nine rolls of 500T Super8 to be developed and prepped for transfer. I was told that 9 rolls would need to be split to two reels. "Too much film for one" is what they said. So today I picked up the film and it was on one reel. Just one. The guy seemed confused when I asked him why not on two. He really didn't know anything. Must have been new. So the reel measures 7 inches and it is full. There is only about an 1/8 of an inch to the edge. You film guys who know what you are doing, do you think all have all of my film back? I have my doubts. Pac-Lab has screwed up so many times that I am through with them. Won't get into it, but I'm done with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Salim Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi Matt, if there's only an 1/8th of an inch to the edge, I'd say you definitely have all nine rolls on there ! John S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon C Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Last time i went to Pac Lab, most of the people working there looks somber. I tried to joke around with them but they persist in throwing back taunting responses without any smile. Anyone know what's the next option to develop super 8 within NYC?

Premium Member Matthew W. Phillips Posted July 12, 2011 Premium Member Share Posted July 12, 2011 I've always thought that 7" reel for Super 8 meant about 400' of film which would be 8 rolls. Maybe they could have crammed the last 50' on there but I would be leary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
