Re: Questions of my own regarding Faboky

I will be very interested to see the results.

I was going to say even the lenses I had in mind aren't cheap/common enough, but then I remembered the plethora of extremely fast (f1.2 or faster) projection TV lenses that could work here, that cover 4x5.

This is perhaps the only common and sub $30 option out there. But you will have to do black and white because some of the elements are coloured R/G/B.

EDIT: these aren't necessarily colour corrected so a narrow B&W filter will be key.

They are only 1080i at best, but I would be curious if the leap from 480i/720p raises the resolving power requirements of the lens. Maybe go for a later end model and hope for the best? At any rate the screen quality will probably be the overriding issue.
