My Optical print of "Pale Rider" was faded so I moved it on.

Sometimes I wonder if some runs of prints were printed on more than one film stock, or I just happened to luck out on a well stored print to begin with? It can be deucibly awkward discovering what film stocks were used for the optical sound features.Comment

Thanks for The Generations link Larry! Rarely see it come up for auction but it's a nice Derann Scope print! A few frame jumps throughout and a partial missing scene but otherwise sharp and very good color! My copy was mono and took extra effort to re-record it in Stereo but the sync is bang on and thank goodness the balance stripe was excellent as the presentation now is Brilliant! I will be watching this one...Comment

Elephant Man feature, not often seen as there was a great deal of trouble with colour casts printing this B&W feature on colour stock.

Is this a super 8? You wouldn't think this film would need 3x1600?Comment

I didn't notice that. I was just going by the tint on the frames shown that it was the Derann version. It doesn't state the gauge does it?Comment

It says it's 16mm in the item specifics section. Wasn't the problem with colour casts caused by trying to use a B&W negative with colour print stock?Comment

Yes, I think the problem was that the printer was meant to print colour from a masked colour negative (orange base) and the filters used for colour correction sometimes weren't strong enough, or the printer needed maintenance, to cope with adding the orange to get a neutral print. I think this was the reason for the later Derann prints being slightly blue tinted towards the end as it was not able to cope with some batches of film. I know colour printing paper came with changes to filtering needed for correct colour so I assume positive film did too.Comment
