Hassan,

If you're planning on shooting color, you have only one choice:
Ektachrome 64T. (There are two color negative stocks, but you can't
print in s8 these days, so those are good only for transfer.) If you
want B&W, you have two choices, Plus-X or Tri-X. All the info is on
Kodak's website here:

Spotlight_on_Super_8/Super_8mm_Products/index.htm

I'm sure there's somewhere you can get film in San Francisco, but I
always order directly from Kodak: 1-800-621-FILM (3456). I think
there's a price break if you order 5 rolls & there's a huge discount
if you're a student.

Good luck,
Roger
