I’m very tempted to buy a cheap Super 8 camera (probably a Yashica) and I don’t know if I want to be talked out of it or talked into it.

Are there still companies that would process ("entwickeln") the films for you, or would you need to do that yourself?

@Gargron You can watch these Super8 films first before you decide

@16bit It does sound nice, but 16mm is a whole price class above Super 8 😅 Still, it's not 35mm, it is doable!

@Gargron My dream is Super 16mm, shot on an Arri SRII - probably will never come true. But I like spending time to think about it.

@Gargron I have a Cosina Super-8 videocamera lying around here, don't know if it still works.

@Gargron Do it! I thought about getting something more recent with VHS tape... The plus side being that VHS is also a great storage medium for audio as well. But luckily I have no use case :D
