Very nice! Such a great scan.

I see the lens is not covering the max 8 at that focal length. Is that ok?

Unfortunately you have to crop in past that. Or if you matte to a tighter 2.35:1 ratio you won't need to zoom in as much.

Max 8 is interesting, but not perfect.

So at what focal length does the image cover the Max 8 area without corner light loss? Do any of the Max 8 camera conversions have recentered lenses?
It's too bad 1.5 x anamorphics are so expensive as that would allow the film to keep it's soundtrack and be projectable.
