Not sure how relevant this is but a a few years ago I picked up a Sony
VHS to DVD converter (not very expensive) and let one of son's who had
time on his hands convert our VHS tapes to DVD...quite easily as I
recall ... reasonable, certainly acceptable quality. Sent our PAL
tapes from our decade or so in 'Oz out for commercial
conversion...results were quite good.
We sent our 8mm out and results were acceptable as there was a fair
amount of degradation and it took a bit of restoration to get to
"acceptable." Also, they took good care of fragility that developed on
some tapes.

$2 a minute seems pretty reasonable really. I love the 8mm to 5d
capture idea though. That makes me want to go make one and offer
capture services myself lol.
Far fewer old 8mm movies around that someone might need transferring -
perhaps more of a business opportunity would be offering a service to
transfer old VHS home movies to digital files. All you need is a HVS
player and an analogue-to-digital converter and some decent editing
software and you're away!
