Meh, I'm not sure it worth the extra $$. Not at a retail level anyway. You also have to consider you need a machined barrel to hold the new lens too. Thats even more money. Its a lot of extra money for a few hundred mWs of power.
Great job Angelos, and Jordan. :beer:
You got it buddy. If the projector was 400-500$ cheap it would be Great.
It's glass... AR coated as well.
Maybe you got that 'gel' feeling because of the spots of glue on the lenses from the way they were mounted. (I just carefully scraped off the glue)
I did some initial testing and comparing with 405nm and 445nm. Very close power comparisons with the 405-G-1 power as you mentioned.
As you also pointed out, I did notice a very sharp focused, pin point dot with blu-ray.
It is a little more 'close focus' in design vs the 405-G-1, and that is why the focus is more 'touchy'.
It will also mean a little more adjusting depending on distance and so forth.
But it is a nice lens.
For 445, I can see similar 'side splash', which was expected with such a close focus lens.
I did also notice the two long 'wings' that we saw with the other Ca$io lenses. But not near as noticeable.
Seems to be a pretty good lens!
The Gel Feel was from dropping the Lens and the way it sounded. It did not sound like the G1 lens is what iam saying. It sounded like my Geltec lenses. Should have said that then it feels like Glass/Gel Like.:Tinfoil: Nothing wrong with that But Just saying it sounds more of a Geltec lens then a G1 does. Iam sure you know what iam talking about.
Thanks for the Testing +3.:beer:
