Cine Kodak Model Film Camera
i found 2 cine-kodak eight model 20 8mm cameras. i have no idea how to work them or where i can find film?
I was cleaning out my great grandfather’s attic and came across these 8mm cameras from the 1930s and I am very interested in getting them to work and make my own short films ect.
The Cine Kodak Eight-20 is a milestone in camera history and marks the beginn of home movie time. With that camera Kodak introduced the 8mm film format.
The film used for these cameras is called “Normal 8″ or “Double 8″. THe film is actually 16 mm wide and one length of film runs two times through the camera. At the end of the length you have to take the film out of the camera and revers it and then it runs a second time through it. The film will be parted in the lab which does the developing and glued together to give you the final 8mm film to run through the projector. This sounds complicated but is not. That system was common until the mid 1960ies when Kodak introduced the “Super 8″ system.
Note: You CANNOT use “Super 8″ film with your cameras or run the film through “Super 8″ projectors. It is a different system – only the film width is the same.
Millions of “Normal 8″ cameras and projectors have been produced from the 1930ies on so you still can find projectors at reasonable prices and buy film for them.
A manual for your camera can be bought here:

Some sources for film:
http://www.myoldcamera.com/Regular8mm.html
it also has a lot of additional information.
http://www.cameraspro.com/filmstock.html
their prices seem higher
Maybe you could also contact Kodak directly – here’s the link to their film and TV section
http://motion.kodak.com/US/en/motion/index.htm
(not sure if they provide contact info there)
Your cameras should have a wind-up motor so no batteries needed.
I hope you get them working again!
I think there are still a lot of film enthusiasts around so that you will find a lot of information on the the internet. Good luck!!
