Hi Chris:

Yes, you can still use Regular 16. When and if you choose to etch your ground 
glass permanently, you'll have 2 choices --- a pattern that shows the 
Regular-16 area inside of the Super-16 full aperature, or a pattern that 
shows HDTV/1.85.  Personally, I'd take the latter and just pencil in the 
Regular-16 area for as long as you require it, since it is going obsolete. 
Then you can just wash the R-16 marking off with alcohol on a Q-Tip without 
even having to remove the g.g. from the camera. Hopefully Super-16 should be 
around for the foreseeable future. Of the 4 major networks, 2 plan to adopt 
the 1125i standard, and 2 the 720p standard. That should keep producers 
scared of committing to HD for a while longer.

Tech info is on my site at:

I understand that the Zeiss can be modified (it becomes a 12-120) for about 
$2500. Check with Century Precision Optical in Burbank, CA, or I think Zeiss 
will even do it (although they may charge more).

Mark.
