Dan, I added the apx footage count that I have for the 16mm negs. The footage would be about half for the S8mm.
Here is a link that has the pricing. Keep in mind I do not have magnetic audio, only optical, so a magnetic track would have to be created which would be a bit more (not sure how much)
scroll down to see the 16mm to 8mm prices.

I would obviously need enough extra to cover the neg work...so more prints of the same thing would drive the overall costs down.
As for making digests, are you referring to other films? I don't have the elements for anything else, & I would guess that editing would be a killer in price considering I just forked out $1200.00 for 4 minutes worth of editing/sound/negs in finished work in 16mm.
