Yesterday I asked around while visting camera stores in London. Currently 8mm standard gauge cine film is available here from The Widescreen Centre. This is 25ASA black and white film. Normally they stock two speeds (both B&W) buy they only have 25ASA at the moment. The phone number of the Widescreen Centre (for folks outside of the UK) is 171-935-2580. Their website is www.wscreen.demon.co.uk Perhaps they could provide info on sources in other countries, or even sources of colour film. Since I'm not into cine, I have'nt tried calling them, so I don't know what brand the film is, or how you can get it processed. However, one of the salesmen at Classic Collection (who told me about them) phoned up to make sure that they had film in stock. He also told me that France still has a significant number of cine enthusiasts - perhaps one of our French LUG members could make some enquiries. If the info needed by any of out non-UK 8mm enthusiasts is not on the company's website, email me with your questions, and I'll give them a phone call. Regards, Doug Richardson
