Those are cheap puzzle toys, but look like Bauer super8 camera !

 

From 1st June 2009, Fuji Film accepts order of "af-reco-Shiage" (means "process+magnetic striped).

Thier striping machine is recovered.

 

This is a good news.

I heard that FUJI FILM IMAGING Co.,Ltd restarted Single-8 process on 20th December.

The ultra-sonic splicing machine was out of order for just one week.
(13th Dec-20th Dec)

FUJI FILM IMAGING Co.,Ltd offcially announced it to film dealers and custmers from 27th December.

In 14th Dec, Fujifilm Imaging Co.,Ltd sent a fax mail to film dealers.

You can see the scan image of the fax;

Fuji said about apology for temporarily stopping of processing Single-8 film. It caused breakdown of ultra-sonic spilicer.

They say, "When does it recover, and we are not predictable".

Now, Fujifilm Imaging Co., Ltd returns undevelping film to the customer.

Fuji Film's Magne-stripe machine has been repaired!

On 22nd November, Fuji Film(Old name: Fuji Photo Film) started their magne-stripe service again.

Fuji said that they don't accept only "process and after-recording", but also edited films.

This is a good news.

Filmmover.exblog.jp(or film-expression) met Fuji Film, they heard it from Fuji Film Staff. Therefore, this is an official remark.

But, Fuji Film has never written about this on their site.

You should contact Fuji Photo Film wanting know more detailed information.
(especially, about edited-film-magnestripe)

If they provide service for super8, I am very glad.
Fuji Film had provided the magnetic-stripe service of Single-8 and Super8.
It was very high quality.

 Fuji Photo Film sent the answer in compliance with the question from a certain Japanese film society "filmmover".

I challenged the translation of Fuji's message.

--------------------------- 

We are stopping the Magnecorting processing temporarily now.
It troubles users very much.
We are sorry very much.
The cause was that the machine breaks down.
This is a special machine, because this machine became decrepit, it takes time to repair.

A substitutive machine doesn't exist at present, either.
We cannot promise when the servise will restart.
We have explained to you that many equipment are becoming decrepit.
However, it was not predictable that the equipment for Magnecorting broke down this time.
It troubled with it you very much.
It is difficult to forecast which machine causes a similar problem from the film manufacturing to development this time.
It is a trouble.

We give priority to supplying the reliable　product and service to our customer.We work to have a less bad influence upon the schedule of "the end of film producing and processing".

We only develop  a film which the customer ordered "Process + Magnecorting".
After Magnecorting machine is restored, we contact the customer, we will do only the Magnecorting.
We do our best to restore it.

Fuji Photo Film's Magnestripe machine is out of order now.
The company doesn't say when that service comes back.

This is very, very serious trouble.

I've already use Single-8 (Super8,too) for 20 years, but  never  heard  such  a  serious  trouble from  Fuji  Photo Film.

If Magnestriper service can't come back, I think that Fuji must do something for customer.

Because, FUJICHROME R25/RT200N are inculded the possibility of after-recording.
We bought the poissibility ,too.
