I have been busy going through a film collection i have just acquired and among the main titles i pulled out the following.

I have just finished watching two films one of which was the film Magical Mystery Tour. The quality on this was stunning including colour and condition like it was filmed yesterday extremely sharp print.

I wondered if anyone else knows who produced the print or if anyone else has a copy?

I also came across just the second half of the film Help which is on IB Tech stock again another print which looks stunning in this format.

No idea who produced it, but it sounds like you have some great films in that collection.

Yes very much so most of which have been looked after well as most are in as new condition which is becoming a rarity these days.

I admire you Robert!!!! I've always wanted to find a good 16MM to do a "digest" of this on super 8, a 30 minute, 600ft digest version. Someday, I'll find what you have!!!

Well Osi it's taken me 20 years to find, originally i had the Niles Super 8 full length feature, then a ex-library 16mm print which came from the US which had pulled sprocket damage and pretty well used but on AGFA low fade stock.

When i get around to it i will post some screen shots. The colour timing and sharpness is fantastic.

A splendid time is guaranteed for all [Smile]
