   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.

     @vadhakara Calling it junk is a bit loaded.

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

     @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
