Hello Everyone,
I just received a blackhawk library print of Sons of the Desert and it's really fuzzy. It's out of focus and also grainy. The sound is excellent but the picture is terrible. Is this the normal for this particular L&H feature?

I would like to get another copy if anyone has one for sale providing it's sharp and clear.
Thanks,
Roger

Hi Roger,

Generally speaking, I would say yes. My print is very similar to your description. I've heard That Blackhawk may have released a later print, that was said to be better, but I've never seen one.

Mine isn't exactly fuzzy but it is a bit soft and bright in places. The Walton print I have from 1979 is much sharper with superior contrast but unfortunately (being a typical Walton)not quite the complete feature.
