Just to clarify in my mind (!) if not in others ..... if you want to project the film on a 2.66:1 screen ("CinemaScope") use a 2:1 lens. If you want to show the result on a 16:9 screen (of ANY media type) use a 1.33:1 lens.

The Panasonic lens has a squeeze ratio of 1.3:1, and is intended for camera use only (subsequent "stretching" for viewing is intended to be achieved digitally).The lens you have has a ratio of 2:1, and is intended for BOTH taking and projection. They therefore are for different purposes. W...

http://www.film-tech.com/products/mediapads.php This is what professional .theatres use to clean film as it is shown, mounted on the projector. The media rolls are used dry and are NOT sticky. They can also be used soaked in film lubricating fluid to clean and lubricate the film during projection. T...

Simple answer....... Are you happy with the results you are getting? If you are, then you don't need to upgrade for the sake of it. If you are not, have you tried simple post processing to get acceptable results? "Better" specified equipment does not necessarily produce better results and ...
