The Super 16 Renaissance
Continuous advances in lenses, film stock and postproduction technologies 
have elevated the Super 16 film format to new levels of image quality and 
production efficiency. Super 16 is now routinely used for standard and high 
definition television productions, feature films, commercials and documen-
taries, and with stunning results. By shooting Super 16, productions gain 
many of the advantages of shooting film - the film look, its unsurpassed 
exposure latitude, natural color reproduction, variable camera speeds, 
ramps, proven archivability and the fact that film is the only globally ac-
cepted standard format - at affordable production costs. The small size and 
light weight of Super 16 equipment has the extra benefit of easy portability 
for fast-paced production environments.
