Maybe we can have an idea. I don't know the prices but how much expensive
is a super-8 film today when compared to 30 years ago. We should remember
to take into account the inflaction of this period. Maybe the price will
be almost the same, if we consider the inflaction. If so, we can hope
that the film price will not increase becasue of the reduced production,
but, who knows?
