But the question is, what do you want to do? Each of those films has a particular use. Obviously the first question is color vs. b&w. Then light level or grain structure.

you can be a snob all you like I dont mind. Wont really give me the money for the film or equipment for 35 though. I've never edited or filmed with 35mm. The closest I've come is lifted a 35mm movie reel to load into a projector...that was heavy as fuck!
I want to use 8 because I have access to equipment, and now film stock.. And because I dig the grottyness and comparitively low quality look. I dont want to make huge movies, just capture some random fun footage. No I wouldn't edit. Could but it would be pointless really, I'd be happy with the reels as is. Then transfered to video.
Id like to shoot in both colour and black and white. More interested in lighting for best results. I'm guessing that it is all outdoor day time only? or large amounts of studio light? I'm aware that grain is going to be an issue because of the size of the film but as I said up there the grungy style of the film is partly what is appealing so don't really mind as long as exposure is alright.
