Hello,
My name is Jim and I am the fixture product manager for Fixtures at ETC. I have a quick question for anyone that would be willing to take the time to answer. Our supplier for the lenses we ship with all S4 Par fixtures is stopping production of those lenses. We are being forced to source a new supplier and have found an alternative. The lenses, however, are not exactly the same. Most notably, the MFL and WFL would go from being oblong to being round. (see the chart below) Thoughts? Would this negatively impact your ability to use the fixtures? Is the oblong quality of those lenses the reason you use them? Would there be any advantages to the new, round beam? Also, you could just answer the poll. One thing to note is that the other lenses we have been shipping have always been round.
