Thanks once again, Ronald. A very good job indeed.

Asking about THE BIRDS, since I thought the only print available in super 8 of the full feature was the poor Italian bootleg [Frown] .

Read a couple of times of poor italian prints now... is that a general thing to be cautious about? Are there a lot of those circulating? Newbie's question...

Ronald,

There are many good quality Italian prints out there. They sometimes get a bad rap....which is mentioned in this thread.

I think there's room for just one more film.....

Winbert-I was just going to suggest that auction for the 16mm print. It is a lot easier trying to get a 16mm print than regular or super 8mm print.

Ah, to buy another projector, it's not yet planned, budgetwise. Also, I find the contrast on that 16 a tad soft, Gian Luca's s8 appeals more to me, although the pictures may not do justice to the 16.

As a newbie, I more and more get the impression that, next to a healthy fascination, you just a bit of patience :-D

If I were you Ronald,and you/ll need to be quick,I'd get the 16mm
rather than the S/8, it's a lot cheaper.A projector isn't that dear.

Sure is, Winbert.
My opinion is that £600 for a mute Super 8 print of anything is a waste of money. One could buy a 16mm print with sound and a projector to show it on for less.

I agree, a print of any film on 16mm has got to be superior to
one on 8mm,to pay these prices for something like the price
asked for "Psycho" makes me think Norman Bates wasn't the only
one needing help.Not only has the print to be paid for,it will have
duties to be paid and a soundtrack to be put on.The print on
ebay has gone for less than $400.00, a decent 16mm projector
can be obtained for less than $100.00, there's no competition.

Na, I've just started with Super 8, gimme a little break on that one [Big Grin] I'm not ruling out 16 in the near to middle future, but I want to savor this first... moreover I just happened to get hold of Derann's "Beauty and the Beast", had to sell the grandmothers for that one, and another fine movie is already reserved... there will be Psycho prints (it seems) :-)

However, thanks to everybody involved in this thread, got much good information!
