Well at least to me it's a breath of fresh air. Old equipment and cameras are soooo cool.

Okay, what I meant was that as long as there is no reference to other technique or company doing the transfer on the same clips, it's difficult to be objective.

Sharpnes? In reference to what? 8O

Watched the K40-klip. Better, or should I say not as awfull as the first one, but still pretty lame... Mr S8booster doubted my professionalism and yes, I'm not a professional d.o.p.
