Media Distributors (1219 Folsom St @ 8th/ 415.321.5939) is a great source for film stock, including Super8. I just purchased some 64T at about $16/roll. For anyone else out there interested in shooting 16mm, Media Dist also carries buybacks, which can be an inexpensive means for shooting film. (plus they carry a ton of tape stocks and harddrives, too). Can't recommend them enough.

They're at 1605 Taraval, cross with 25th Ave or so ("you can see the ocean from there"). Adolph Gasser on Second Street probably has some too but it's been years since I've been there and it was hella 'spensive, even back then.
