I'm inspired to build a rig like his, but the exact lens he used doesn't look easy to find. Whether I'm scaling the rig up or down, what other lenses would be good candidates for this kind of rig that are cheap and/or readily available?

Look in salvage/surplus houses for old, old, old video projectors — the ones that took VGA input only!

They often have three such lenses in them! (One for each of the additive primary colours.)

I have one of these. It's about five inches across. I haven't made any attempt to measure the focal length, but now that I've seen how to put it to use, I'll add it to my endless "projects" list.
