    Does anyone know anywhere in Dublin that sends off super eight(8mm) rolls to be developed for you?
    I know they have to be developed in Germany of France, but is there anywhere that sends it off for you?

    Haven't used super 8 in years, but the way it worked back then was you bought the stock, 3 mins or what ever. An envelope came with the stock and when you had shot your footage you posted it to the address given, while also putting a return address on the envelope. The package was then posted to an address in London, who sent it on to a lab in Switzerland to develop it. The film gets developed and they send it to the return address you supplied. The whole process generally took about three weeks.
    The problem today is that I recently heard that the lab in Switzerland is due to close shortly (or possibly has closed already), which means you may have to send it to the U.S. for processing.
