As I think moth3r was saying, the screenshots previously discussed on this thread (and the ones on the old thread this replaced) are all of a different generation of restorations projects, and as such, it is not really a fair comparison to add in comparative captures from the currently ongoing preservations. Since a lot now are using different sources, e.g. 35mm film stock, upscaled versions, cleaned up GOUT, or even the BD, comparison shots are really just useful when contrasting like projects. Each of these will be very different from each other and has different goals.

I understand your point, and it is helpful to seen screenshots of the various versions people on the forum are working on, it is just important to compare apples with apples, and for this, the screenshots offered within each of the individual project discussions are the most relevant. The comparison screenshots should be used more as a guide to see the varying restoration work each has achieved on to the respective source material(s), rather than compare each project to one another to see which is the 'best' version out there, as this is no an accurate contrast and at any rate such a view would be entirely subjective.
