Updates
Important update: The Super 8 Wiki now contains equipment and information about other formats (i.e. Single8, 16mm, ...) as well, so please check the equipments' categories twice before buying non-super8-devices by mistake.
Ebay: At the moment, the <ebay>-tags are not working any more. We're working on it. Please neither edit the existing tags/sections/paragraphs, nor manually add links to eBay-auctions!
