Over the last few years I have become more interested in reg. 8mm feature presentations. Most of the one's I have purchased have been in one genre. Old school L&H comedies. Have two full 8mm prints that I cherish and several shorts all in 8mm sound. How many 8mm productions are available out there? Finally been able to watch the features and shorts that I've accumulated and am very happy with the sound and image but I know this was a short lived format. Don't like the smaller image size but the transfers I have both from Blackhawk and Niles are sharp as a blade. I'd like to see a list of what was printed on reg. 8 in feature and even cut-down or abridged versions of films and what the rarity is of them.
Super 8 still gets printed from time to time thanks to us oldsters but was wondering how many reg 8 prints there are on the market and if they are rare or not.

I know there is a print of The Invisible Man out there somewhere. Probably many were made, but finding one is darn near impossible. :mrgreen:
