John Gordon asked: "If there is a 70mm release, what do you think the chances are it will be in the original Dimension 150?"Wasn't D-150 a function of the camera lenses, projector lens, and the curved screen? If so, a contact print of the original negative would automatically be D-150. Was the specified radius of curvature and "wrap" for D-150 screens the same as 3-strip Cinerama? Was D-150 150-degrees, and Cinerama 146-degrees? What were the radii? I fondly remember experiencing a 70mm print of "Patton" several times in Buffalo NY on a deep curved screen --- WOW! ![](http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/smile.gif) ------------------ John P.

John,I have heard the River Oaks in Chicago still has the lens in its original box. Mark Gulbrandsen might know about that one. Mark L.

The last D-150 screen in London was at the Odeon Marble Arch. I remember seeing Patton there and it looked so good.A smaller screen was installed as Odeon probably thought that they would never use D-150 again. The cinema is still open but has been made into a plex so the big auditorium is gone. I wonder where the D-150 lenses went, maybe someone from Odeon / Rank will read this and can reveal what happened to them.
