As someone who has recently been an employee (contact and limited optical
printer) at Colorlab, I can say that Super 8mm to 16mm are on the way out.
IF they would agree to do it for you, it would unfortunately take a VERY
long time for the project to be completed. I LOVE Colorlab for a lot of
Hello Jerrett
I personally think you'd be much better off to do it yourself on an optical
printer. Or maybe find a friend who uses an optical printer that can do it for
you. I think having a lab do it might end up turning out to be very expensive.

You have to be careful. I have recently scanned S8 film that had been blown up
on a JK printer, and there was severe perf damage that entered the image area.
This was caused by a slightly misaligned JK projector head.
These days I am not sure if 16mm blowups from S8 are the best way to go
Good point Jeff

Hello all,
Does anyone know if Colorlab in Maryland still does blow-ups from super-8 to

remember reading as much on the old
artist on this statement; and I welcome
it as it pushes me forward as an artist to try something different,
something new.

Just wanted to say RE: 35mm vs. 16mm, that Scott's sentiments seem to echo the
traditional wisdom about the omnipresence of 35mm, but with the rapid scrapping
of 35mm projectors from almost every multiplex (and most of the art houses) in
the U.S., it seems the scales may be tipping back in the
Well, first, the only way the scales are tipping in any venue is toward digital
projection. Setting up a 16mm micro-cinema requires finding a working projector
that won't eat prints, finding the increasingly rare short and fast lenses that
will fill a decent sized screen, and dealing with
Hello all,

US that will do 8 to 16 blow-ups?
Thanks,
