Interesting observation...

On the PG "making of" extra, I noted that the 2nd reel on the PG had a different countdown leader than the 1st and 3rd reels. I thought that this, plus reel 2 being a little more red, was evidence that the 2nd reel came from a different print. Although I also noted that it had been cropped identically.

Well, lo and behold, this Swedish set of prints has the same discrepancy in countdown leaders, and again the 2nd reel has a different countdown than reels 1 and 3. In fact, the countdowns correspond identically in both sets.

So now I am beginning to wonder if it is customary, for some reason, for 16mm sets of prints to have a different countdown for reel 2 as they have for reels 1 and 3 ??
