Filmprossesor by Fotospeed
We sell film processors for 8mm "Super8" and 16mm cine films.
We have 40 years of experience in developing photo films. And also 15 years of experience with the digitization of cine films. So it is obvious to combine both competences and to develop cine films in the future. On the search for suitable machines we did not find anything. So we decided to develop and build our own machine. The result you can see here.
We call the film processors "dev8" and "dev16". We will deliver both versions as kits from spring 2024. The delivery time is currently about 2 months for dev8 "junior"und 3 month for dev8 and dev16 after placing the order.

Rewinder Table
After developing, the films are rewound backwards. It is therefore necessary to rewind the films once. During this process you can also measure the film length in centimeters. We have designed a simple rewinder table to process reels up to 240 meters.
