quote: Richard Fowler The reflector in the II has some issues with collection of the arc image at certain xenon wattages. I have had to do more ajustments to the system than other lamphouses due to build quality.
What kind of adjustments? What I don't quite get is that, even if the reflector has problems collecting the arc image at a given setting, why would the image of the reflector on screen be oval instead of just round, but dim? You all know what it looks like when you move the lamp in and out of focus, the reflector image expands and contracts around the lamp. But this looks different, like I said, like a zero, like a compressed image in a scope frame (just as a comparison, it has nothing to do with scope, and there is no lens involved here anyway since I am talking about the image of the reflector without lens in the collar).
