Graham - So now we are divided into THREE categories.... Collectors....Hoarders...... and Film Archivists.(I like that one,it sounds good). Does anyone else want to expand on this?
Clinton - How true.In the early days when attending the special Derann open days in Dudley, or the Blackpool Film Convention here in the UK,I would grab virtually everything I could that was going cheap. Quantity was the word.These would be 200'and 400'digests. Nowadays, with several more years worth of pay packets under my belt, this expanded to 4x 400' and full features.Then going through everything,and storage space becoming stretched,the mighty axe came down and most of the "can do without" titles were resold, so your thread above rings so true in my case.
Mike - Another thread that rings true in my case. I estimate I have yet to watch approx.10% of my super 8mm collection, whereas with dvd...probably 25%.
