[Frameworks] Super 8 frames blown up to photo prints!

[Lars Fuchs]

You could try sandwiching the super 8 film in a cardboard 35mm slide mount,
then using an old fashioned macro-bellows on a dslr. I've gotten some very
interesting results with a bellows and my Pentax *ist DL, but I was going
for abstract/experimental not reproduction. however I was able to get
pretty good enlargement, and on a high end dslr like a 5D or D7000 you
should have resolution enough (and color depth if you shoot raw) to make
pretty big prints.
