Yes I've had this a couple of times, it's got a sepia look as it seems to be on colour stock, but the couple I've had in the past had good picture and sound, so worth a look if you can find one Osi!

I saw that one as well. I actually wrote the seller, ( I felt a little embarrassed doing so, as I asked, "Are you sure that this is optical sound" and he rote back, yes, i know the difference between optical and magnetic"), but by the time I recieved his reply, the auction had ended.

I was really curious about that one as, every optical sound print I have ran into of this print is just like what Barry described, having a brownish sepia tone to the image, but this print that was advertised, had absolutely no fade whatsoever, a straight B/W imgae so i was very curious as to whether it was of the same print run, but just preserved VERY well without any fade.

So, Osi, let me get this right....

You are now searching for a Grizzly John Wayne ? (!!!)

HAH!

No Wayne, as grizzly Adams, would've shot that bear years ago!

... but i am looking for both features.

... ah, heck, i'm always looking for the odd optical sound feature! They're just my passion! [Smile]
