slick, Lumenlab has a store in Australia. You can get your lenses there.

Oh good one thanks for that😀

 

[slick69]

this one?

Can someone please tell me whether this could be used for the MKIII using a QA1150 panel?

This lens is for big screen TV's. It is model VP5110B. It is a coated methyl-methacrylate optical grade lens with several elements construction. The front lens diameter is 114mm and the rear is 111mm diameter. The focal length is 110mm, it is designed to be nearly in contact with subject surface, and will cover up to 107mm diagonal source. The outside tube is 140 diameter by 203mm long.

Re: this one?

...will cover up to 107mm diagonal source.

Now a Sharp QA1150 lcd is bigger than that right?😀
Nope it aint gonna work, it will only project a 107mm diagonal part of it...

So what would you suggest?

 

[ancorp]

Id suggest pretty much what is most common - the standard 60mm or 80mm triplet at lumenlab or diyprojectorcompany. I dont know any local australian sources...

Its too bad that CRT lenses cant be used with lcds as big as the ones on projection panels. (unless you get one off a Barco 912, those are for 12" CRTs, those are crazy)

Cheers,
