Kodak has announced a limited-edition release of the KODAK Super 8 film camera. They tout it as the most advanced camera in it’s (albeit narrow) category.

16:9 (widescreen) shooting and increased visual resolution. The Super 8 Camera extended gate optimizes more capture area of the film strip – allowing for an 11% larger image than traditional S8 cameras.

This 14:9 full frame gives your Super 8 film the flexibility to intercut with other modern media capture formats, seamlessly filling the frame of today’s TV and video screens.

The new Super 8 Camera comes equipped with a detachable wide-angle 6mm 1:1.2 C-mount lens, offering a range of creative choice for filmmakers of all levels. Use any other C-mount prime lens or adapters to mount the lens of your choice. Experiment with vintage lenses for a retro feel.

The MSRP is $5,495 US.

Each KODAK Super 8 cartridge is loaded with 50 feet of motion picture professional film – choose from 3 different KODAK VISION3 Color Negative Film stocks, or reversal stocks including TRI-X Black & White Reversal Film and EKTACHROME Color Reversal Film.
