I am reopening this topic of where might be the best place and the best way of scanning (digitizing) about 3000 feet of well preserved 60 year old 8mm and original super 8mm vietnam combat footage I shot in the 60's. I see there are a couple of new possibilities to consider since I asked this question in 2013, or at least that are easier now.....ie 2k which seems is much easier to capture and then there is the question of frame by frame capture to dpx instead of cine. In either case, I understand that scene by scene colorizing may be key. I would like to hear if anyone has any thoughts on the best way and the best place to proceed with scanning 8mm and super 8mm film for someone who wants really good results. Thanks

I am also researching reg 8mm transfers....(as well as super 8mm) I have only found two houses with high level scanners, ie spirit or millenium, who also have their own regular 8mm gates. Spectra with the former and pro8mm with the later..Anyone know of any other possibilities...

I have just checked with Lightpress and Cinelicious....neither do reg 8mm....only super 8mm.... I have a mixed bag of about 4000 ft of reg and super 8mm...some over 60 years old home movies, and other rolls of Vietnam combat footage that I shot myself. I am looking for highest level of fidelity and squeezing all that I can out of what's there....

I have also been researching where I can get the best 8mm and super 8mm transfer. What about www.pro8mm.com. I understand they have their own 8mm gate for their millenium...
