Kodak Super 8 Camera

Super 8 is back! Kodak has spent years developing a modern film movie camera and the result of all that work is the Super 8 Camera. Blending modern design and conveniences with analog filmmaking, this Super 8 Camera is a brilliant revival of the classic moviemaking aesthetic.

While developing a modern Super 8 system, Kodak was able to create a method to make even more use of the film. This camera uses what Kodak calls Extended Gate Super 8 format to capture an area approximately 11% larger than traditional Super 8 film. Measuring 4.2 x 6.3 mm, it provides a slightly taller 1:1.5 aspect ratio that is more flexible when intercutting with other formats.

Filmmakers will be able to use a wide range of lenses thanks to the use of the standard C mount on the Super 8 Camera. It comes with a 6mm f/1.2 lens that will provide a 35mm equivalent field of view of ~35mm. This can be easily swapped out with other standard C-mount lenses. Users can use adapters to work with a range of other lenses though when using these lenses you should consider the format’s crop factor of approximately 5.7x.
