I found on Ebay that someone is selling 8mm on reversed prints. What was the purpose of Lab to make a kind of this reversed print?

thanks,

They probably put the neg in the wrong way [Big Grin]

But any possibility at that time Airline Companies showed 8mm they placed projector behind the screen, so they need this kind of reversed print?

I doubt that... Seems somehow they always find a way to turn the upside-down super-8 image right-side up! (To be precise, the image isn't really upside-down, but rotated by 180 degrees.) No problem with a projection lens, but the way they do it with all these tiny mirrors inside film editors, or even the small daylight screen attachments for Eumig and Bauer projectors - it baffles me! [Confused]

I'm with Kevin, in any case - probably a simple misprint [Smile]
