You have to wonder a few things. 1) The print quality. 2) the amount of information a 16mm film holds. 3) at what k/b coding level anyone on this forum can capture the film. Telecine will not simply be better than the LDs. The DVDs were downconverted 4k captures...I doubt anyone can get to that level or even close. However, it would be interesting if it would even be worth investing in if we can't get a high level encode.
