I started capturing the first reel last night.  It's a bit more difficult than I thought it would be. For some reason, capturing the anamorphic film just seems more touchy.  I had to transfer several times before I got it framed reasonably well. I'm beginning to wonder if anamorphic uses slightly more of the frame than normal 16mm films (this is my first anamorphic film capture).

And, although the color spread is not bad, getting a decent white balance is proving to be a challenge because the film has slightly faded in various ways depending on the brightness and hue of the scene. Also, the film is noisier and grainier than I had hoped.  As you can see, it isn't going to challenge the GOUT, but I'm still forging ahead:
