Wasn't sure if you guys would have seen this or not, we're running
JJ-3s with 70mm DTS and CP200 for mag tracks

It thought film was dead (and is this why Brad is looking for JJ's?)

If you're running JJ3's you have Cine Focus? What are your lamphouses and what size screen?

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?

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.

I wish I was closer to Austin.

Me too. It's about a 400 mile drive from Lawton. I have friends who live in Austin; that would at least save me some bucks on a hotel bill.
