What are your lamphouses and what size screen?  |  IP: Logged Jason Metcalfe Expert Film Handler Posts: 134 From: Austin, TX, U.S. Registered: May 2010 posted 08-28-2012 10:10 PM                     We've got a 38ft screen & highlight IIs with 4500w bulbs. We do not have CineFocus though I've heard of its magic here on the forums, is the improvement really that great? and are they still available?  |  IP: Logged Jeff Kane Film Handler Posts: 74 From: corpus christi, tx Registered: Jun 2011 posted 08-30-2012 01:33 PM                     Dude... I could hug you. No more having to wait for the Paramount to do their 70mm-fest every summer. Expect a contingent from down here to be regular patrons.  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 08-30-2012 03:15 PM                     I wish I was closer to Austin.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

I have friends who live in Austin; that would at least save me some bucks on a hotel bill.  |  IP: Logged
