I'm becoming very interested in all the "scope" talk here on the Forum. I have a couple of "scope" films, but never got into the actual presentation with an anamorphic lens. I would really like to(I feel like i'm missing out on a lot!), so i'd like to know what kind of anamorphic/scope lens you folks use with what model projectors?, and what are your favorite choices? Also, what lens are readily available and where? As always, please share your knowledge and experience, as the info that was on the 'old' Forum is gone. THANKS!

Joe, I have the same set up as Mr. Rik, and I also have a large Kowa Prominar Anamorphic that was used for 35mm projection. I picked it up on eBay for $26.00, built a cradle for it (following Chip's example!) to use with my Bauer T510. The Reel Image sells Scope Brackets in both 43mm & 52mm for $40.00, but those involve drilling a small hole in the front of the projector. There's a ton of scope information at this site: http://lavender.fortunecity.com/lavender/569/anamorphic.html Doug
