Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater 235:1 screen size input

I've been watching this thread. Looks like the costs will be about $300 for a lense with mount. I don't care for the mount, but it is a hell of price.

I can't seem to read this. Perhaps not enough access rights? What is the content?

I was not able to get to it today either, however, the other day I was just fine, maybe the thread was closed or something.

They locked the thread and put a sticky on it at the top of the board page due to some complaints that the guy was trying to sell a product which is apparently against forum rules. The sight admin said he was going to review and post back later. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=673026

In short, it looked like a heck of a lens this guy is manufacturing. Selling price of around $300 with a mount.

Dead link. Still under review? This was for an anamorphic lens? Perhaps you can check back and let us know?

ya, a HE anamorphic lense. look at this board, first post that's locked at the top of the page. DYI 4.3 to 16.1 thread.

Aha! Thanks. So now if this turns into some marketing power buy thingy, I'd have to become a paid member to participate in it, eh?

If it is decent quality (how can it be?) I'd be very interested. Considering they seem to average about $1000, a price of $300 seems to good to be true (and you know what they say about that). Regardless, I'll keep my eye on it. It would definitely be a great buy.

The guy doesn't speak or write english too well. He's apparently Chinese. But, if you want, you can send him an email and buy direct. He was offering to sell it to anyone direct.

Here's another thread. He's the original poster. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=674387

I'm gong to try using the Panny's zoom first. If I don't like it, then I'm going to pick up a lens.

Another thread started. This guy bought a prototype and is testing it. Sounds very promising. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=676352

This is looking good for those who want a nice 2.35:1 setup for not a lot of money. Since I am building a modest home theater, this is ideal for me. From the pictures, it is "good enough". Likely not good enough for your videophile but good enough for me . It seems best suited for a long-throw projector but I think they are trying to convince Liuwzen to make one suitable for a short-throw projector market.
