For Sale is a complete Super 8mm print now that I've upgraded to 35mm. This is a nice condition print with great color and sound. Reasonable wear. First 5 mins or so have a slight sound sync issue.

In general a great print of an awesome title!

I did a review on my print here and there is a screen shot. It is letterbox to get the full 1:85 image.

Hi Tom,
If possible you may want to include screen shots of that film. The reason I say this is because some of the prints were printed on the bluish side. It isn't technically defective, but the warmer prints are more highly sought after as they are truer to the original print color.

Bluish prints is a subtle issue here. My print is a little bluish but I'd say it's absolutely right in relation to the theatrical look of this film. A later print from when the lab was frequently printing too blue would be detrimental, though. However, soon after I bought my copy (which was in the first year of release), I saw a reel that was printed with suprisingly warm colour and I was confident that was 'wrong'.

There can be an element of taste - e.g. I'm fortunate to own a rare 16mm print of 'Alien Resurrection' and one thing I really like about it is that it has vibrant colour instead of the bluish look intentionally given to the theatrical release!

Judge by yourselves:

And this is the blueish print:

The first one has natural color (eg color skin), good saturation, and sharp.

While the second print is so much blueish (human skin is pale), and soft focu

ps: please disregard the $ sign.

BTW, How many Derann titles you know that have so many obvious diversity on print quality?

Plenty of them Winbert, especially those printed on two different stock types.

I always thought the best Derann prints came from the early 1990's.

Guys, several members had contacted me thought that the $ sign because I was selling it. No..the picture was taken from a very old post of this very topic:

Blueis print vs good print (Aliens, Super 8mm Derann)

I was just copying and pasting it to safe the 8mmforum's server from the burden of storing too many the same pictures.
So...no I don't own nor sell it.

And now back to the topic [Wink]
