Cheap camera lens for projector?
Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2009 8:12 pm
I have an idea to use a cheap wide angel camera lens like a 45mm .045x on my sharp 10x projector and maybe make a curved rear projection screen.
Does anyone have any experience with lenses and give me an idea of what i could achieve on the cheap? I can get a lens like that for around $40 off ebay but have no idea what it will do. I imagine it will make the projector short throw with a fish eye image? Would that be perfect for something like a J-dome?
Any insight appreciated.
