Super
8 mm Film (S8) / Normal 8 mm Film (N8) |
How does my film format affect price?
Most Super 8 film has been shot at 18 frames per second, whereas most
Normal 8 has been shot at only 12 or 16 frames per second. This causes
the price to differ.

16 2/3, 18 and 24 frames per second |
How does my film speed affect price?
The speed by which the film is shot affects the "per foot"
price but not the "per minute" price. The reason is that film
shot at a higher rate of speed uses up more film in length, thus causing
the per foot price to vary. Help
with determining the speed of your film.

Film with Sound and Silent Film |
How does film with Sound and Silent film affect price?
Film with Sound is slightly thicker than film without,
therefore less film fits on a reel if it has sound rather than if it were
silent. (How
to recognize if film is silent or has sound)
