Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2009 10:34 PM                     Absolutely. I've done it. Just take the big collar off that holds the lens into the DP-100. The lens then fits right into the Christie lens mount.

USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-15-2009 06:27 AM                        Are D-cinema projector lenses generally interchangeable, or are there different lens mounts/sizes? How are the lenses sized, anyway? Are they sold by focal length (like cinema lenses) or "throw ratio" (like video projector lenses)? Is there a choice of lens manufacturers?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-15-2009 12:42 PM                     Generally interchangable within the same group of projectors... The .98" chip lenses are all electric and smaller in OD and length then the 1.2" lenses are. Mark  |  IP: Logged
