After having downloaded the Snow White screen captures, (and now having a nifty desktop wallpaper for my PC!), I decided to dig out my Agfa Derann print of "Snow White".
I actually went up to a few of the exact frames shown from the BR
and compared the Super 8 print.
Now my print is number #171 of I don't know how many prints made of this title, so it's a good distance down from the first printing, (its the one with the two extra trailers at the beginning, bought it for 140.00 dollars, YAHOO!)
Even though this print of 171 down from the first, I was stunned at just how accurate the Super 8 copy is concerning color and definition to the restored BR.
True, the BR definitely boasts a grainless (boo!) extremely sharp picture, but It really impresses you (the Super 8 print)
with how sharp it IS ... truly rivaling 16MM prints I have seen in the past! I can only imagine how the very first prints looked of this title, if the 171st print looks this good.
I can truly say that NO ONE has truly equaled the quality that Derann achieved, and still achieves to this day. Yes, CHC is quite good as well, and the optical features are in a world of they're own in stunning quality, but Derann I would truly say, are the top dogs.
Magnificent Derann! If you ever have a chance to read this post, pat yourselves on the back for me!
