2 perf has been in use in Australia for many years.
I have been privy to many evaluations for 1920 x 1080 use [including my
own]

The quality far exceeds S16mm and the 2.3:1 aspect gives room to move
for the director in Post
Good stock savings due to 1/2 frame height.
One can use spherical lenses on your camera

Cameras must be modified for 2 per pulldown and a crook or worn camera
can result in amplified
Vertical instability.

There is no issues with telecine of 2 perf on today's machines

It used to be called 'Techniscope' in the 'old days' was used on a few
spaghetti westerns I believe

Look here

I like it
