Product Information

Full details

The Reflecta Film Scanner Super 8 – Normal 8 is designed for individuals who want to easily digitize their old Regular 8 and Super 8 film reels without the need for a computer. Its key benefit is the straightforward, frame-by-frame scanning process that saves films directly to an SD card as HD MP4 videos, making them instantly shareable. A potential caveat is the fixed scanning speed, which may not suit users requiring highly customized capture rates.
