Peter, what a great project, very interesting.

Of course, 16mm is not strictly 'theatrical', being made for small private and industrial projection rather than commercial cinema, though I used to work in a place with 2x 16mm (one for commercials, one for feature) and one 35mm projectors.

What is the aim of the transfer? Is it just to back it up so as not to be lost, or is it to be actually viewed?

You would have to match the colour temperature of your light source to the colour temperature of the original projector lamp that the print was intended for.

Is the print in cropped 1.33 aspect, or is it a letterbox print? This will have an influence on the resolution you can achieve.

Cheers,
Jason.
