If it's from 1978 it's certainly color film: B&W movie film was quite hard to get at the time - I know because I shot some B&W Super-8 for a student film back then! Had to buy Fuji B&W movie film on special order and send it to Syracuse for processing.
The sixty-four thousand dollar question is: E6 or Kodachrome? Kodachrome movie film was still fairly common back then. Not nearly as common as E6, but still around. If it's Kodachrome you're pretty much SOL. If it's Super-8 film, it's in a cartridge that will be labeled, so you'll know the film type as soon as you take it out of the camera. If it's *really* old plain vanilla 8mm movie film, it's on a spool and I don't think there was any identification on it at all (though I'm far from certain). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
