I found it very interesting that the opticals tend to degrade more than the body of the film, for some reason. I'm certainly not levelling any criticism towards Legacy, decisions like that are up to the restorer - no? Perhaps I should have said that before, I agree with Harmy but I also agree with you that some flaws are in the source and others are introduced in the print. :)

Leveling criticism at Legacy is welcome and encouraged. I think it's dangerous to be so deeply into a project for so long with no objective voices offering perspective. It just also happens that what you guys are concerned with I have also struggled with myself for years and have no definitive answers to, which can be frustrating!
