I’m still trying to figure all this out myself, so I really don’t know squat. One thing that I continue to see referenced at AVS with these lenses is throw distance. Apparently, some lenses don’t do so hot with short throws under about 15 feet. You might want to do a little digging on the lens capabilities a bit before you commit yourself into incorporating one into your set up. The lenses recommended for short throws are pretty expensive I think. (above 3500 US).

When you get all this figured out John, let me know what you come up with eh? That way I can just copy what you do. My set up is about the same as yours (seating and throw distances).

Oh, you might as well start looking into video processors too. That seams to be the norm with folks who use anamorphic lenses.
