8mm ERNO model E-501 Editor - Viewer
This system for editing positive 8mm film is a consumer model from the ‘70s, a period when 8mm and super-8mm were especially popular with amateur movie-makers as well as with artists, including the famous generation of ‘independent/underground film artists’ in New York during ‘70s-‘80s. The 8mm is found in two versions, the ‘regular’ or ‘standard’ type and super-8. 8mm was first introduced by Kodak in 1932 during the great crash as the most inexpensive alternative to 16mm. Its manufacture stopped in the early ‘90s. Super-8’mm was introduced by Kodak in 1965, and in 1973 a magnetic layer for sound was also added to its surface. The production of super-8 mm cassettes with sound stopped in 1997 for environmental reasons, while the production of several black and white and colored films in this format continues. The viewer includes a screen and built-in rewinders.
