Anamorphic lens shootout? - Page 11

Ok I may not quite understand and perhaps its beyond the scope (no pun intended) of this setting. A prime lens with FL based on size of sheet and distance plus an anamorphic attachment to reverse the squeeze for 2.35:1 ? 1:33.1 is not anamorphic as a ratio I would not think. I defer the higher UPS for clarity if I misspoke

That is what a HE lens does. Cinema uses 2x and HT uses 1.33x.


Not sure if I am understanding your question.

1.33:1 is certainly an important part of Constant Image Height projection.

We might be talking two different things. I do not mean to sound gruff. I will look into the lingo used regarding the digital cinema projectors and servers so I can pose the question accurately. Thank you for taking the time.

All of the D-Cinema projectors I've seen do not use the A-Lens (ISCO 1.25x).

Here is how it works, we have 16:9 format, multiply 16 x 1.33 = 21.28 now divide 21.28 / 9 = 2.364 This is how the 1.33 horizontal stretch works. Another approach 1.78 x 1.33 = 2.367 (16:9 = 1.78:1)

Hi guys,

Just wanted to ask (since I asked some questions earlier concerning lenses) do you think this lens would work on the Optoma HD20 http://www.prismasonic.com/english/d...on_h850m.shtml

I have no idea, just need some advice...

If the throw is long enough, yes it should be fine.

I follow. Thank you for the outstanding details. I find myself quite handicapped with a film background as the transition to the 2k DLP's happens at a pretty good click. Operating and even installing this stuff is easy but thats where it ends. I look forward to visiting this forum again.
