Michael Frymus Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 We are currently making a home theater in our house, and I want to make it a 2.35:1 screen. But, I need a lens for the projector. I dont really know how much these lenses cost or where to get them. I looked and couldn't find it. Could you help me out? *lowest price please.

Premium Member Jay Young Posted July 12, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted July 12, 2009 Most of the 'scope lenses that are DIY use Prisims and such. Just search for DIY Anamorphic and you will find plenty of plans and info for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, could you adapt a 35mm projector front 'scope lens attachment? They were made to screw onto the regular, spherical projection lens. They are easily available on ebay for less than $100.

Well in that case, you have no need of an anamorphic projector lens. Any material coming from a tape, DVD, or blu-ray will have a set width and the height of the picture will vary (and be letterboxed), depending on the aspect ratio. This is different from a movie theater where 1.85 and 2.39 projection both have the same height and different widths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
