OK, i know that this auction has but a half hour before it ends, (I think), but i wanted to caution folks on it ...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/163596856869?_trksid=p2057872.m570.l5999&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI163596856869.N36.S1.R1.TR2

The fact that it is an optical sound super 8 print and "kempski' is stated on the auction, made me a little suspicious as, as far as i have known ...

1. Kempski did scope prints

I asked the seller if this was a scope print, the seller said that it is not a scope print.

2. the print has color fade.

I could be wrong, but either a large part or all kempski prints were on some form of low fade film stock, many on Agfa, for instance.

So, based on the fact that it has color fade, and is not scope, i don't think that Kempski printed this feature, (7x600ft), and that it is simply a in-flight movie optical sound print. Now, perhaps, this might be the original seller and bought this from kempski's used film list (as he had one back in the day), but I don't think that it was an actual Kempski printed film.

Now, despite what I and others might think ...I don't know everything,

... so, if I am wrong, please, someone correct me.

hello Osi,
I agree with you.
Moreover, Kempski.s prints are labelized "Dietrch Kemski" on leaders. It is very important to keep leaders uncut for these prints.
All kempski prints are Scope and magnetic sound, polyester material' Agfa, low fade stock.
Confusion is not possible.
All Kempski features are 120 meters spool.....not 180m.
