LOL...

I gave away my Bolex 8mm or you would have one.

I wonder if you can still get 8mm movie film????

Scott in Florida

Your Bolex might make a nice doorstop or paperweight. I'm fairly sure 8mm
is not manufactured at all, or perhaps a small house could make it at great
expense for the few Luddites around.
16mm is or was available fairly recently, since the rather awful film
LEAVING LAS VEGAS was shot on 16 mm and blown up to 35 mm for theater
prints...and looked it.
Speaking of Paillard-Bolex, back in the 60s their 16mm cameras were the
standard for smallish tv stations doing field reports to air later, when
video cameras were in their infancy.
