Info: 70mm RETURN OF THE JEDI Reel #1 Near Mint - for sale on ebay

Unlike SW and ESB, the Return of the Jedi 70mm collecter film frames nearly all seem to be pink shifted, like this reel. It makes me wonder what the difference is down to: was it to do with different type, age or condition of film stocks, for the respective films. Does anyone here own a Jedi 70mm collector film frame featuring the first reel that is not pink shifted?

It is the film stock used unfortunately. I haven't seen a 70mm Jedi yet that has not gone over to the pink side.

This would be a great luma reference though.

I found a couple of still quite nice 70mm film frames, both from the same scene, so maybe this was the best reel of the batch.

Maybe that's something which Team Negative1 could use, even with the pink shift.

It's near mint!

...or maybe it's like new!

......or maybe it has two splices, four missing frames, and some barely noticable color fading.

.........or maybe the entire reel has faded to pink quite a bit =|

Was it already proven or just an urban legend that ROTJ 70 mm had TESB opening theme? This could prove that, if still needed.

So I take it no one here bought it then?
