Introduction to the 8mm formats ,

You can tell this film apart from Standard 8 because the sprocket holes are aligned with center of each frame. More information on What is Super 8 film.

Single 8

In 1965 Fuji introduced the "Single 8"-film which is nothing else than "Super 8"-dimension film in a totally different cartridge. The "Single 8"-cartridges do have some advantages (complete rewind possible, pressure plate in the camera, ...), but most companies stuck with the "yellow giant" (a.k.a. Kodak): Agfa and Konica never released their "Single 8"-films and only Elmo, Konica, Yashica and Canon joined Fuji in producing "Single 8"-cameras.
