8 mm uitrusting

8mm film is a motion picture format, 8 millimeters (0.31 inches) wide, with two main versions: standard 8mm and Super 8. While both formats are the same width, Super 8 has a larger image area due to smaller, more widely spaced perforations.

Introduced by Kodak in 1932, standard 8mm, also called "double 8," was designed as an affordable home movie format. It used a 16mm strip with perforations on both sides, exposed in two passes to create two 8mm strips. This process gave it the nickname "Double 8."

Though Kodak stopped selling standard 8mm film in the 1990s, independent manufacturers still produce it, often by re-perforating 16mm film.
