Good point Chip

I was thinking the same of late using it as a leader, they could also be used as practice film for sound recording before doing it on the reel thing, you could even record your own introduction with 20th Century fanfare as one example, or record a musical intro track like we used to have at the movies of long ago then da da...switch the lamp on...

I bought THE AMAZING HOWARD HUGHES on 16mm, the mini-series with Tommy Lee Jones, fully expecting it to be faded for $50. When I screened it the first part was faded as I expected but the 2nd part was all LPP. It is only available as a 2 hour movie and not the full series.

I do have red prints that I use a filter. These prints are very rare to get on DVD; i.e., "The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing".
So it isn't perfect; either is life.

Never would have accepted a red print of any kind from a dealer would have been sent back for refund as they are JUNK and should be binned. Like buying a car that does not go or a book with no print.
