There is a certain level of detail naturally present in the SE prints that I just can’t find in some of the greatest of IB tech scans. I wouldn’t mind a ‘Cinema Despecialized’ edition that uses mostly SE 35mm footage, plugging in 77 35mm footage whenever necessary. Or if some technical genius could digitally average the two together, that would be fantastic.
That’s an interesting opinion because all the Tech prints I’ve seen have been relatively sharp and this SE print looks quite grainy and soft. Do you have any side by side examples that led you to this opinion?
