I do hope that you will reconsider a scope release of this, David. This really is a release that demands a scope release, but that is, of course, up to you. BTW, how did an old post end up showing up now?

I have a scope lense, and I honestly prefer to seeing a film in scope, over flat and even over a letterboxed scope image as, you lose a good deal of the sharpness of the original image, but ...Pooh, a sharp scope super 8, it really is an experience, especially with films like Star Wars. You can watch on a TV, of course, but on that scope screen, you are no longer at a distance, but are really enveloped into the drama.

Originally posted by Mark Todd View PostHi David I don`t use a scope lens, but like many do I just watch scope films 4/3, doesn`t worry me at all.
I prefer a full screen with no bars, so a slight, mishaping if you will, is no worries.

I’m Loving the continued efforts of the few releasing NEW Super 8mm titles and wanted to thank you all for your amazing work, but also wanted to add my personal view on the subject of 8mm print ratios...
Feeling we are a purist community here keeping the tradition of film projection/presentation alive I strongly believe that not one of us would have entertained the local Odeon screening any Scope film in a flat format! Therefore, I would suspect any ‘rationalised’ Scope print releases would not achieve the sales they may otherwise have achieved if the releases were indeed in their original Anamorphic ratio.
Discuss! 😉
The very best
Rick
