The Isco III is quite a bit of change so does anyone have any opinions or experiecne with either of these two lenses and how they might compare to each other, if you were to choose a lens which would you choose and why, my projector lens is currently about 13' from the screen I would rather not move it but if I had to I could go about 15' or so.

A couple things on the Isco II:

It has a small aperture so you will be limited on zoom and can't use short throw projectors.

It enlarges the image so if you leave it in place at all times you will be ok but if you move it out of the way, you will have to resize your picture.

Pincushion.

Other than that, it has good focus and contrast.

I think Alan has had both in his theater, and that he felt the ISCO III was the better lens, with the UH380 not far behind, but ahead of the II. PM him and see what he thinks.

Pocoloco makes some good points about the II, so see how much zoom you have used. I have an Optoma H78 and it is zoomed to almost it's minimum so that the image will pass through the II without vignetting. The aperture is bigger than the Prismasonic lenses though, so is a better lens than those IMHO (I had an H1000 before the ISCO).
