What kind of 8mm film does it take? I don't think I've seen anything but Super 8 for ages.

I know some 8mm cameras can take standard 16mm film that's been cut in half.

Standard 8 - they made it from '32 to'92. Camera is a kodak, from '32, model 20, in the family since it was new. It is beautifully engineered.
Kodak once made some really nice cameras. My dad has a Kodak Retina IIIC which he used for many years before giving it to me, and I used it until the late 70s when some of its mechanisms finally just wore out.
