Thanks for the post. Just posted it to my DavidLean.com website.
This looks to be worth the wait. But will it contain the restored balcony scene? Hmmmmmm?
It's also interesting to note that the site states it is from a 4K transfer not an 8K transfer that I've heard rumored.
65mm is scanned at 8k if preservation is part of the process, 4k (or less) if it is not. All work is performed in 4k.
And just to confuse things, 8k is not really a higher resolution than 4k. Wider film, more pixels. That's all there is to it.
Don't get caught up in smoke and mirrors.
