quote: Surely, there must be prints of this title on 16mm for less than that price.
I think I saw a print on Ebay in the past year or so that sold for much more that 1000 Euros. Three hours of film is a lot of footage, and to strike that much costs money. I'm thinking of getting into 16mm later, but that means a decent projector, scope lens, splicer, rewinds, maintenance supplies, etc., so while I'm not looking to do that anytime in the near future, I'd certainly be willing to spend top dollar for a S8 print of a title I want. Yeah, it's a little pricey, but I'm certain I can sell nearly everything I have for what I have into it, if need be.
I've always stuck to my 'rule' of not going into debt for this hobby, and I haven't, and won't. Some common sense does apply to this, as well as any hobby.
So when I acquire an expensive title, I enjoy it, and it does not hamper my ability to enjoy life at all. We still travel, good times with family and friends, and live a nice life here. I have no regrets on what I've bought in the past and what I'll buy in the future.
