A short time ago every second TVC on screen was using the "Super 8
look" and people were shooting medium budgeted material on Super 8 to
give it a look. Maybe 16mm time will come again if only for the
"look". If you need to sell to help finance you into a kit that will
score you jobs - fair enough. But I'm not sure the money you get will
put a very large dent in your requirements for an HD kit especially if
it cannot be converted to super 16.
