A 50mm f/1.2 projector lens ($10) sitting in a modified helicoid.
The rear of the lens tube had to be removed to get the lens close enough to the sensor (fortunately the rear element was well recessed).
The opening to an old T2 helicoid had to be enlarged so the lens could sit further back & the rear mounting of the helicoid had to be removed & replaced with a glued on c-mount adapter.
Stripe effect created by shooting the light beam from a projector, really close to the lenses, using a shitty mobile phone camera.
Playing around with Projectors. Holy crap im in love :o...... and this thing only cost 50L... you can find it at marketplace.secondlife.com/p/FIAT-LUX-Blue-Double-Project...
I've had a this data projector for a long time, originally for training in my consulting business but it has become the "big screen" of choice for watching DVDs and occasionally TV events, 3 meters wide on the wall.
It doesn't have any audio capability so even though it would accept a chromecast dongle, you just got the picture no sound. I use to have an older combined VHS tape and DVD but the remote threw in the towel. So I borrowed a Blu-Ray player from my son, to play movie for my grandkids. It came with a wifi setup and my curiosity was soon on the case. In no time I was on the net watching You-Tube and Catch Up TV, with great sound from my soundbar. Next with some scrap timber and a bit of smart design I had prototyped a stand that had everything sitting on the projector stand. My old projector had rejoined the internet age of streaming, with a great quality large image on the wall and wonderful sound.
Take that google!
