It's pleasing to hear they can master from color-Neg film (such as Studio archive prints), I'm thinking of being able to obtain UHD files from not only 70mm, but from the VistaVision [VV] catalogue. Because I understand mainly (reduced res) standard 35mm positives were struck from VV masters. More distressing, the latest 8k telecine's will not run 8-perf VV, but earlier 2k machines would (thus for instance the sparkling 2k? 8-perf? scan of DeMille's VV Ten Commandments, though of course 2k too low.)
