I noticed at Disney that they were using diachronic plates in most of the stationary indoor S4's. Guess they got tired of changing gels! Sounds interesting, but I am sure expensive to use in 6 inch frames, and many of their 64's (8 inch frame) were that way as well. I would suspect for the rest of us that they would be too fragile. Anybody else using them on here?

One funny effect, when you are off axis, the gel is of course a totally different color! Always a bit of a brain tease to see a light that looks to be gelled yellow throwing a deep violet beam! Kind of a neat effect...
