Hey Micheal ...
I finally got around to seeing that Ben Hur post and the screenshots. The color on your print looks incredible.
I bought my print from a fellow forum member and to this day, I'm not complaining, as I bought it for 200.00, but I have noted that the right side of the screen is lighter than the left side of the screen, and the right side, (that's lighter, has a bluish cast to it, while the left hand side is absolutely normal color.
Fortunately, its not a large difference, but to a purist like me, Its noticeable.
Does anybody else have a print like this of Ben Hur?

I don't think that my print is a Kempski. It has that bluish Derann color to it, but to be honest, I really can't be sure of that.
The boxes are plain white boxes. Curiously, the covers on top of the part 1 and 2 have the look of the original boxes, (but not the 3X400ft covers, as I had those and these are different).
They are interesting in that they7 say "cineavision" print, but this obviously isn't the square boxed "cineavision" print, this is the average scope image you'll find on the Derann's. It has that black top edge with the MGM logo, 4 different boxes with the different languages available, (as the english circle checked).
I can say, however, that the print is exceptionally sharp. I haven't seen the Wixard of Oz prints by Derann, but this is the best looking print from a film from the 50's or earlier that I have seen. MAGNIFICENT!
Perhaps someone else on the forum can verify if this a Kempski or Derann scope?

I didn't like this Disney film ....
However, I would like to find that promo which was just the song, "Colors of the Wind", I did like that moment, and I was excited to hear that Derann released that promo, but it seems that it is now kind of scarce.
Tonight, Fantasia 2000 and along with it, Sorceror's Apprentice.
