I have an excellent condition original low-fade Star Wars (NOT a reduction). Contact me off-list at MichaelCoffin@**********.com if interested.

Jeff --

Collectors use "reduction" to mean a 16mm print struck from a 16mm negative made from "reducing" a 35mm positive release print

A 16mm original is also technically a reduction from 35mm in the strictly technical sense of the word , but it's taken from a 35mm original negative, or a 35mm fine grain print, and so is higher quality than a "reduction" from a 35mm release print.

A gold star goes to Steve.

We've gone down this road many times, but if the source of a 16mm print is a 35mm positive release print - that's what we refer to as a reduction print in "16mm-speak".

The same question sometimes comes up about the term "dupe", i.e. aren't all prints (35mm and 16mm) "duplicates" of the camera negative? When the term "dupe" is used in 16mm terms it refers to a 16mm positive print sourced from another 16mm positive print (either contact printed using reversal stock or a dupe interneg - either way the source was a 16mm positive print - which may have been a reduction itself so you can see you are many generations away from a fine grain 35mm original source).

Thanks Guys...

"Dupe" I understand. It was just "reduction" that threw me. For 16mm, "reduction" could also be used interchangably with "Dupe"

No Jeff -- 16mm Dupes and reductions are different

A Dupe is a print made from a 16mm negative which was made from a 16mm release print.

A Reductions is a print made from a 16mm negative which was made from a 35mm release print,

The reduction prints are far better quality than the dupes since they start from a higher resolution source.

BTW - a 16mm print made directly from a 16mm postive (without an intervening negative) is called a reversal (or a reversal dupe).

This thread has been VERY informative. I just wanted to let it be known, that the title is alittle misleading.... I'm basically only looking for 35mm.

Thanks again!
