Yes, my feelings exactly..The overall image is so good that I don't want to mess it up..
But knowing me, I won't be happy until I try and make it even better.
Yep, I am now tempted to try to re-align the prisms too...

Mark..that would be a major achievement if you can almost eliminate CA..
Your lens would then be right up there with the best of them..

By cylindrical element I presume you mean, as in a circular lens..like a filter shape..
Would this be near the projector lens..almost like an attachment?..Would it be something that could be added to your current models?
Yes I am hoping this works out too

The term cylindrical actually refers to the shape of the lens in plan. From the front, the lens may be a square, rectangle or round, but when viewed from the top, the lens appears to have had a cylinder cut out from it (concave lenses) or resemble a part of a cylinder (convex lenses)...

That's quite an improvement over the MDF case..very nice
One of the first things I did with my lens was to line the sides with black felt...It does make a difference..
Thanks

Yes, the more light control the better. I have also tried something new. Rather than block the ends of the prisms with flocking, I am just absorbing the light from the ends inside the case. And it seems to be working a treat too...
