CP2000-S. I am a bit confused right now; Auditorium 1 - 11.60 Meter x 4.95 Meter (scope) 9.20 Meter x 4.95 Meter (flat) Masking Side Movement Throw Distance 23.20 Meter Screen - Matt White So i get a ratio for scope is 1.61:1 and flat 2.02:1 the only lens i can find to fit is the 1.45-2.05:1 High Brightness Lens, can it be used in the CP-2000-S? No idea... all the while we have been using the High Contrast... In what situation does the anamorphic lens be used? care to enlighten me please :-) Thanks.. Danial.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

It also is a High Brightness lens. If you have side movable masking, Anamorphic lenses better balance out the light. You would lens up for "Flat" and have the anamorphic lens swing in for scope...quite easy. You will get about 23% more light with scope this way and not have the lamp current varying like you would if you if you just zoomed. Also, with the older projector, it can be automatic...just have the channel swing the anamorphic in.  |  IP: Logged Danial Simmonds Expert Film Handler Posts: 107 From: Kota Damansara, Selangor, Malaysia Registered: Jan 2008 posted 06-08-2010 05:21 AM                        Hi Steve, thanks for the advice, I was informed that the High Brightness lens wont fit into a CP2000-S is this true?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
