Very true Guy. However, curious enough, the earlier Kodak SP tends to hold up better than the later Kodak SP. I've also found that to be true of the Eastman film stock.
I don't know why, but I've noted that my earliest Eastman stock optical prints still tend to have most of they're color. Early 80's Eastman stock opticals have tended to go completely pink rather quick. The same is true with the Kodak SP. Apparantly, the optical super 8 producer, knowing that the optical super prints were only designed for a "short shelf life" used whatever super 8 stock was the cheapest, (as a general rule) and probably put in as short of a processing time as possible.
... which is quite sad, as, the image quality they got on those optical prints was second to none, but the film stock tends to royally screw them!
