During my early days I recall 16mm was about as good as 3/4 inch tape with a good photographer while 8mm film paralleled a single tube camera recording 6-hr VHS.
Around 220 TVL is what I got out of it on a test chart. Direct from the camera I was getting about the 240 lines or a bit better. The recorded video on that camera has kind of a soft look compared to VHS like EP mode VHS. Not quite as soft, but noticable.
