Shooting for vintage-looking home movies, which kind of standard (double) 8mm film should I buy? - find out vintage home blogspot
I have a Kodak Brownie Movie Camera Turret 1.8 in 1950 and wants to make movies fun memories. I am not a professional, I use it, as has been assumed to be used in years 50 and 60. I'm happy for the high color saturation, vintage look of the film. Any suggestion of what to buy / Where?

As far as I know, the cinema, the only color in a regular 8mm Ektachrome 100D is available. There may be others, but the only one used in recent years. Until recently, could you give Cinechome 40 () Kodachrome. However, Kodachrome and stop when the movie is not available. You can find if you hard enough looking. I think there are few places that do not have to.
There are many different black and white 8mm films available, but for the color you will probably use Ektachrome 100D. It is a balanced film in daylight, it is intended mainly for the shooting outside. There are very nice saturated colors and seems quite forgiving of the exhibition.
You can take pictures with indoor Ektachrome 100D, if you have enough light and if you correct a blue filter on the lens color. You can take photos inside without a filter if you wish, but a kind of orange. It is not really that bad though. I have before. Make sure there is enough light.
I do not know where you live, but there are many places that develop and sell 8mm movie film. I usually buy Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas. Here is their website:

When you visit the Web site, go to the page where it says "order forms", then "Movie Movie" and "Movie Film For Sale" option. You can obtain an application form to be printed and then mail in the order of the film. They (console, but I can see). You can also get the film developed again to them. I ordered several rolls of film in the film and photo developing Dwayne and there they always have a good job.
I also found another body, the spectra of films and videos in Hollywood, California. They sell and the development of 8 mm and 16 mm movie film:

One thing you need to know if exposure to older 8mm cameras are completely manual. You need to adjust the opening of the ligTerms. They should so-called "Sunny 16 Rule Search" to. It is a guide to using manual exposure abroad.
I have a collection of old 8mm film and a lot of fun. E-mail if you have any questions.
