Hi Folks!
I think i was very lucky on ebay yesterday because i buy "winchestwer 73" full length feature just 5 minutes after the seller put it on sale.It would be nice if some fellow members tell me how good the print is in the case that someone own a print and how good the density of the black and white is.Recently i buy "Gilda" and im very glad with the print,i hope "winchester 73" has the same level of contrast and density gilda have.
Thanks for the information
Jose

If it is the old Derann print from the 60s,it should be great.I have reg 8 sound feature from that time called Ride the Wild Wind and it uses Kodachrome stock and the color is perfect!

John ...

Who put out your copy of "Wild Wind" (isn't that the early Jack Nicholson feature?) I ask as the copy I have has perfect color as well, but the focus is hard to get just right. My print was manufactured by Red Fox films, on Super 8 or, at least, when I bought it, it was in a Red Fox film box.

My favorite western for repeats? "My Name is Nobody" 4X400ft. scope. Not the full length feature, but a very good slight edit.
