I think Buhl made a half-inch lens for the B&H projectors. It was ungodly slow and had awful edge-to-edge sharpness but it sort of worked.
I may have one around somewhere, I will have to look. Bell and Howell made a 5/8" lens for in-flight movie systems on airplanes. It also had sharpness issues and a lot of barrel distortion. You could try asking Neil at Cardinal Sound and Motion Picture in Maryland about renting super wide lenses. 301-621-2500. I know that they have at least some B&H 5/8" lenses in their rental stock. I worry, though, that you are going to wind up spending an awful lot of money for very poor image quality. You might be better off with a couple of large front-surface mirrors and a 1" lens. --scott _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
