The ISCO DLP CINEMA LENS

I recently got to have a look at a Barco 3 chip DLP D-Cinema projector and admire a truly amazing piece of engineered hardware - the ISCO 1.25x stretch anamorphic lens that is used with this projector.

The lens is 1.25x stretch, not 1.33x because the projector's DLP chips are 2048 x 1080, not 1920 x 1080 as is used in HT. Therefore less optic stretch is required to reach the desired 2.37:1 image.

This lens is HUGE at 150mm across and it weights over 10KG...
