Fair enough. Quick note though: the ITU paper said that “The highest resolution that the expert assessors could discern in the highest performing movie theater was about 875 [lines]” with the qualification that “a wide range of resolution values will be obtained, depending on the stocks, laboratory, type of printer, and so forth.”

Also: it’s important to clarify that just because you need to scan at 4k+ resolution to extract detail from a print doesn’t imply that said detail can only be resolved at that resolution in a digital master; as I mentioned previously, this seems showcase the necessity of oversampling vs the resolving ability of the film.

Anyway, I digress. Scan looks lovely.
