Double 8 is back - in color

This is great news for the regular 8mm format. I tried to order some but it's already sold out. I'll have to wait until it's back in stock. I'll have to ready my Bolex P2! In the mean time though Kodak's Ektachrome for Super 8 is fantastic! It's the best color reversal to date. Although you must tweak your exposure a bit to get the best results. My recommendation is to overexpose by one stop, and use a ND filter in bright conditions. This new film seems to like light and if it's underexposed it tends to get very dark in the shadows. The grain, contrast, and sharpness are very good!
