Ive got about an inch and a half, to 2 inches, between the panamorph lens and my HD1. When a bright image is up a LOT of light is reflected back from the lens to the front of the PJ.
Is this degrading my picture some? I know that the projected image is coming into the lens a lot wider than it should if it was up closer, and this leads to more distortion than necessary. It is very bearable though, the distortion, and not at all noticeable except for when putting up a grid.
The image does appear to be a lot more washed out when there is a lot of brightness in the picture. That is because the lens is too far, probably, right?
Im guessing that if the lens was a lot closer the projected image that hits the lens is much smaller and so the reflected light back is also much smaller in size. If this doesnt have anything to do with it, then I definitely need a firehawk screen for my new media room.
Any input would be appreciated. 8) Im gearing up to bring the lens much closer to the PJ. I had my carpenter working on the initial setup and he had the lens right on the PJ and I was afraid of scratching so I had him back it up some.
Now its too far, but those guys werent too "gentle" with my gear and I didnt really want my PJ and lens getting scratched up. 8)
