8 mm film starts out as 16 mm film with sprockets on both sides; it is slit down the middle to double the length and ends up with sprockets on just one side.

 Super 8 mm film - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Super 8 mm film, also called Super 8 is a motion picture film format that was developed in the 1960s and released on the market in 1965 by Eastman Kodak as an improvement of the older 8mm home movie format.
Kodak Super 8 mm cartridges cannot be reloaded, however a reloadable cartridge was manufactured in the Soviet Union.
Amateur usage of Super 8 has been largely replaced by video, but the format is often used by professionals in music videos, TV commercials, and special sequences for television and feature film projects.

 Super 8 mm Filmmaking
I had a lot of fun capturing the sights and colors of college football and describing the (generally pretty awful) exploits of the two teams, and I had so much fun putting it all together that I did it again in 2001 and 2002.
While many consider Super 8 to be obsolete, it is alive and well and retains several advantages.
The fact that a 50-foot roll of Super 8 film only lasts 3 minutes and 20 seconds means you also have to take footage sparingly.

 Anamorphic 8 — Super 8 in Wide-Screen
Both anamorphots have a rear flange diameter of 43 mm, and as the STA-02 has an opening of 62.5 mm, an additional adapter ring is required.
The only difference I can see, is a smaller rear opening of 35 mm on the 16-S compared to 37 mm on the 16-D. “Prominar” is a common brand name of Kowa, used for all kinds of optical products such as bird scopes.
The projectable frame area of Super 8 is 5.31×4.01 mm, about four times smaller than the smallest common format used for still photography (Minox 8×11 mm).

 Bad 16-35 mm f2.8 ? - FM Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The zoomlens set at 20 mm gave similar results (except for the distortion) to the 20 mm lens.
At that time I did not take a close look to the pictures taken at 24 mm, 28mm and 35 mm thinking that the quality would certainly increase when zooming in.
P.S.: Once you have the 85 mm f1.8 lens, you start to be very picky with the quality of your other lenses.

 Nodal point for the Sigma 8 mm? - Kekus Digital Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
I'm building a DIY panorama rig and would like to know the distance from the camera body to the lens nodal point for the Sigma 8 mm.
I have the 15-30 mm and will use that for now but will most likely switch to the 8 mm at some point and I need to be able to include those specifics in my design.
When measuring mine (no scientific tools), I found the nodal point to be between 1-2 mm behind the inside of the golden ring on the front element.

During WWI they were supplied by Germany with model 1898 rifles and carbines in 8 mm, which cartridge they adopted after the war.
The Turks had converted to the 8 mm cartridge after the end of WWI and these guns were built originally in that caliber as evidenced by the full length 29 inch barrel having the same serial number as the receiver.
Slugging it, I measured the bore diameter at.3225, reasonably close to the nominal.323 diameter of typical 8 mm "S" bullets compared to the.318 diameter of the earlier "J" bullets.

 2blowhards.com: "8 MM 2"
The other night, The Wife and I watched one of my bargain-bin finds: "8 MM 2: Unrated and Exposed." We put it in the player anticipating something cheesy, tacky, raunchy, and -- with luck -- hot.
Although a sex thriller, and despite its cheeseball title, the film (which stars Jonathan Schaech and Lori Heuring, and which was directed by J.S. Cardone) isn't what you'd expect: a zero-budget, talentless "Basic Instinct" ripoff.
Amusingly, it turns out that the film wasn't even made as a sequel to the original "8 MM." Its working title was "The Velvet Side of Hell." It seems that someone behind the film decided at the last minute to market it as a sequel.

I had made a lot of research before buying this Lens and I already had been using the Sigma 15-30 mm Zoom for a couple of weeks before I got the Fisheye.
I have been using negative film with my Pentax Full Frame fisheye for 2 years for my panoramas and I was very curious if the D60 and the Sigma could give me the same quality.
However the Sigma 8 mm has to be pushed further about one stop in the peripheral areas as it has a large loss of light in the corners.
