Unfortunately the distance is fixed as this is a finished theater with the projector in finished cabinetry. he is replacing a Vidikron Model 70 with an anamorphic lens so the reality is that any current projector is going to be a massive upgrade. I was hoping to figure out a solution that would allow for digital 2:35 to 1 so he doesn't have to deal with a lens again. I've looked at some Wolf units but not sure he is going to want to play in that pool again but options will be limited.
