About a year or so ago my girlfriend's granddad gave me his old Super 8 camera that he bought in either the late 70s or early 80s. It's been kept in a box ever since, but in our recent house move I came across it again and put it with the rest of my cameras in the display cabinet. Now it just sits there looking all neglected and lonely, and it makes me sad that it hasn't been used for a long time.
I've had a quick look into the costs and I think it's likely to cost about £30 for a roll of film, £20 or so to develop, and £30 to digitize, so £80 all in for a 3.5 min video... Quite a lot of money to spaff away on something which might end up being complete rubbish lol.
Does anyone here shoot super 8 or shot it in the last couple of years? Is it worth a roll for the fun factor or am I mental for even thinking about it?
