Single-8 is a motion picture film format introduced by Fujifilm of Japan in 1965 as an alternative to the Kodak Super 8 format. The company Konan (that developed the Konan-16 subminiature camera) claims in its history page to have developed the Single-8 system in 1959.^[1]

Although never as popular internationally as Super 8, the format continued to live in parallel. As of 2023, Fuji is no longer manufacturing Single-8 film.^[2] The last 2 film stocks to cease production were Fujichrome R25N, a Daylight Balanced Filmstock, in 2012, and Fujichrome RT200N, which was Tungsten Balanced(3400K) for indoor filming, in 2010.^[2]
