first, thanks to mark for posting on my behalf.. I do hope to be able to
answer questions soon, but am currently in the midst of our bi-annual
Festival of Preservation madness, of which the Anger program is just a part
(next up, I'm battling with Cassavetes' FACES).
briefly, however, mark did an excellent job of explaining the technical
issues involved.. (thanks!) And jeff is exactly right--I first discovered
the image flopping by comparing the old 16mm copies of RM to the slates in
the 35mm.
as for 16mm "vs" 35.. take a look at the prints. (yes, I'm very aware of
the issues, and have written my views on it, both pro and con, elsewhere.)
best (for now)
