I assume you will mount the LD's in modules with lenses, if so no other lens is required.

I have used the cubes from PS3 sleds, one combines 2 prefocused blue rays, the other combines a prefocused red and a green, the whole lot comes together with a dichro out of the viewfinder of a camera....no additional lenses required.
