I was contemplating purchasing this 4 x 400ft when or if it appears on any list but i was wondering if anyone out there has a copy and can tell me what the print qulity and sound are like, i already hav the 68comeback and although its ok the picture is quite grainy with wide shots being difficult to focus.
The problem with asking any dealers is that tthey will always say its good for the age, in that case how come standard 8 pictures always seem to be much better in picture quality?

It is awful Tom. Soft and washed out. I bought one
copy and returned it the same day it arrived.

It make the 68 Special look brilliant.

I believe it was sourced from video
