Pairing the right Anamorphic lens with Sim2 C3X 1080p

That was quick.

I use the ISCOIII as do most 1080 owners. With the lens being slightly recessed, there can be problems with smaller lenses. The Schneider is too small. The 1080 was designed and tested with the ISCOIII from the get go. I believe the Panamorph UH480, Prismasonic HD 5000, CAVX Aussimorph lenses work. Im sure owners will chime in.

My advice would be, if you've got the cheese then throw down for the ISCO.

What screens, and at what sizes and budget are you looking?

The Isco 3 still rains king. There are other stand alone lens as well, the Panamorph 380
and the Prismasonic. The Isco and the Panamorph require a motorized sled if you decide to move it out of the way for 16x9. You can leave it in place at all times if you are using a video processor and let the VP scale all your aspect ratios for you. Ive done this and while the purist may argue the technique the ease of use and results are excellent.
The Prismasonics are motorized and self contained in one small housing. Very sharp and the new model has no to very little chroma aberration if any. Worth checking out if your looking for an all in one motorized solution.
To summarize , if you happen to come across a deal on anyone of these I would pursue it as I do not think you will find any lacking in performance. Best of luck. Glad to see you joining the 235:1 club.

Note: I forgot to question which lens does your Sim2 contain..is it the T1 or T2.
If it is the T1 I do not think the Prismasonic would be a good choice as it has the smallest aperture of them all. All the others will be fine.

I know this wasn't your question, but are you sure on the curved screen?

Prior to going for my 14ft Vistascope, I looked at curved screens. The theory sounded good but I couldn't live with one. Far too much of a distraction. Some people love them some hate them.

Make sure you get a demo before to commit a cent.

Dont stop asking questions until you are 100% sure. There are loads of people here with similar and identical PJ/lens combos, all of them are very helpful.

Is this still a problem with the newest Prismasonic model?

BTW, I see they have a quote from some strange dude on their front page.

Misspellings and all

While the new lens is being marketed as larger I found it marginally so.
The Panamorph and Isco3 are both aperture kings and will work with almost everything.

if you are having issues getting gear demoed... with the amount of scratch you are looking to throw down... it may serve you well to attempt a trip to somewhere with a greater selection of gear to preview. there are LOADS of folks here who would love to open up for an evening of viewing.

It may be a wise investment if for nothing other than piece of mind.

Great advice Dizz except he lives in Adelaide Australia

considering that it is already tomorrow when I am posting now we would welcome you to yesterday to show that ISCO lll is the leader of the pack

No pincushion with C3X 1080P/Prismasonic FE 1500R/T-2/2.4 TR/flat screen/132" wide

Totally priceless. Im still laughing since yesterday.

Nice to see you're staving off the dementia.

OB told me "Do What I am Doing and You Will Be Happy. Quit Being So Overly Anal!"

I didn't quit, but I ended up the same as OB and just as happy. ISCOIII and Cinelide!!!! Just do it!!!

That's why you're my idol.

Can you guess OB's favorite TV show to watch on his Sim2 C3X1080 -
American Idol of course!

I do admit to watching it but not on my C3X 1080 but rather my Sony 70" LCD XBR RP. I guess that I am saving bulb life for movies
