Excuse the interlace/washed out color. This was pre-edited months before I knew how to improve those things. I still need to recover half of this bundle. I dont see any need to edit most of these suckers. Sony CCD-TR500 (Hi8 tape)
So people are selling tapes with content on them on eBay! That's logical I guess, but I was surprised to hear it nevertheless! Another element to Hi8 tapes were batches. Even with the same brand and type of tape, there were variations in quality. I only tried TDK once, and the tape I bought was expensive, and also had a lot of dropouts, so I never used TDK Hi8 tape after that. But again, I might have just had one from a bad batch. Like you mention, I had the best experience with Fuji tape.
