Does anyone collect these or have any in their Possesion ?
Was wondering if there had been any Books/mags on this Particular
subject.
On Ebay sometimes a few films pop up , sometimes even hard core but rare i think.
Harrison Marks films also come up sometimes.
Was Just wondering how plentyful these are and what sort of stuff people have out there.
A elderly man passed away and when we cleared his house out found a small collection.
Didnt know there was Super and Standard, always wonder if the Bulbs go you could buy replacements as these are now items of the Past.
Anyone ever seen any being sold in shops second hand etc ?
Any info Appreciated

There are a few books that mention 8mm film loops but none of them are much cop and usually don't have as much information as the articles you might find in the old mags like Fiesta that were written at the time the films were being made here and abroad .
Video killed off the 8mm market in the early 80's before that lots of companies made them in this country both hard and soft core. Mike Freeman who posts here made many in the days when they were illegal. John Lindsey produced 100's and they remain much sought after.
There is still quite a large cine collectors community and it is relatively easy to find projectors and bulbs etc.
