Gday all, I've just received a 2" Simpson 16mm lens for direct-shooting-capture from my projector and am very happy with the results, especially after I took Nantawat's advice and "peered" into the lens to get it sorted out!
I then got to thinking... would there be any benefit in going to a 3" lens? My logic is that the film image would be further enlarged, meaning less zoom on my camcorder and therefore better quality. But I'm no expert on optics so can't say whether a 3" lens would be better (or even work).
Any thoughts from the floor on whether a 3" lens would be better?
Thanks very much for any input.
