I have been doing some experimenting with prism materials and wanted to share my results. I made the non optical portions of the lens out of double sided circuit board material that I simply soldered the ends to the bottom and painted flat black. Using mineral oil and distilled water. All 4 optical sides were constructed from lexan (slightly overlapping the sides and bottom) and adheared from the outside using E 6000 adhesive previously mentioned in prior posts. This stuff works well in sealing against leaks. I was unable to get a uniform focus across the screen whiich I attributed to the lexan. Replacing the water prism lexan with a thin picture frame glass focusing was no longer an issue. Not sure if anyone else had this problem?. At this point I am not totally convinced that the compressed screen image is superior to the same image without the lens. I have a 1024X768 DLP . I will replace the remaining lexan on the oil prism with glass and see if there is any improvement. Perhaps its just my building skills but was curious if any of you have seen a marked improvement in the image with your set up?
OOPS, sorry I accidentally posted this as a new thread, it actually belongs under the anamorphic lens thread.
