I could not resist purchasing this item from Steve at the Reel Image, at the moment super 8 is having a little rest while i catch up with the 16mm films we have purchased recently. BUT, i didn't want to wait to see this little reel, a packed 50ft spool and trailer full of action and snippets of so many of the great scenes complete with much of the music, lots of everything you could say, i will take a look at the Derann catalouges later as i think this may have been imported either by them or Phil at CHC as the titles are German, I put up my spare Elmo now its all up and running at the right speed etc, and i will tell you that these images were taken as it was projected on 2ft image size on the off white wallpaper of my dinning room so even though they look good i think its going to be superb on a proper big screen in the film room later. The stock is LPP pre stripe so aside the pin sharp image & glorious colours the sound is absolutely top notch in every way. You will appreciate that tailers move very quickly so they arnt the easiest thing for me to get get screenshots from. I havnt seen this one on 8mm before but i am sure there is more out there but never the less it is a rare beasty and very recommended.
