The cinevision prints were ok, quality was not always as good as one would like but they were OK. The 3 x 400ft version of Ben Hur looked very good, colours were always a bit washed out but definatly an improvement over the traditional scope. Then of course in later years, Deranns full scope features produced very good image and colour which sort of helped accept the slight cropping. On 16mm we only have a few scope prints, Waterloo, Kidnapped and soon Zulu Dawn, with this gauge i havnt noticed any cropping yet, also the quality of this bigger guage is equally as sharp as the standard 4:3 ratio.But equally on 16mm we are more than happy with 4:3 (or letter-boxed), version of scope films as the one title we have, Dances with Wolves, that you would expect to be pan and scanned actually hasn't got any at all and it works beautifully and the image is so good scope isn't even a requirement for us. Obviously it's a bonus if you get it but certainly isn't a must have. As for the isco 2x lens, it's i little too small for 16 so we use the larger Sankor 16C and ours,( i am told), has the larger more rare rear barrel size. When i bought the scope holder for the eiki it had to go back to be changed for the larger barrel size. It's a lens & we picked for a very low price around 50 years ago. It was full of mould and was taken to a photographic shop for a full clean out. [ February 24, 2019, 12:00 PM: Message edited by: Tom Photiou ]
