Thanks for all the responses. I think I will start with new film, but may go back and experiment with the Super-XX if I get things working smoothly. I definitely have to spend some time cleaning up this camera and getting familiar with it first. It does seem to run quite well. I have been watching 16mm films for a couple years and also restoring and using Polaroid pack film cameras, so I'm not totally new to vintage photography.

Please excuse the newbie question, as I've never shot 16mm before and have limited experience with traditional film. I picked up an old Bolex yesterday and with it a couple sealed tins of film. What I'm wondering is there any point to shooting and developing Cine-Kodak Super-XX B&W that expired in 1954? I know that is crazy old but I've read some stuff about B&W lasting a really long time. There is also a Sealed Kodachrome II but I know all those labs shut down. A side question, does anyone have a recommendation for best affordable lab in the US that will develop just 100ft at a time? (regardless if I use this particular film) Thanks.
