John,

I believe in these cases of optical verses mag. that the amount of change may be micro percentages and may indeed restore the pitch back to an exact match to the optical print pitch. I do not have Shai's specs but on the assumption that we are talking about a mere drift over an hour and a half (for example), an FCP adjustment is all that is necessary. However, in a case where the mag was made from a 25 frame per second xfer verses the 24 frame version, a major difference will persist.
