UPDATED: G9 vs. G2 vs. 3-Element vs. Acrylic - A study

Hi Campbiscuit,

Sorry, I don't have any info on focal length for the G2. Some others here might, but I don't know who.

Thanks again for the review! I have a G9 comin in the mail!

?????? I asked!!! even started a thread asking and looking for a G9 lens never found them or had anyone find information on them

I think that is because the only G9s you will see came from 9mm 445nm diodes. You could try what SKeeZ did and contact DTR for just the lens

To flesh out the thread a little more, I did some testing on a 784nm IR diode just to see what
would happen. As you may imagine, the trends apparent with the red diodes continued into
the infrared. I set the output to 150mW with the G-2 and then swapped out a few different
lenses. As usual, the baseline is the AixiZ uncoated acrylic.

650-G-1? Unknown source, given to me by polishedball - 38% increase over AixiZ acrylic, 165mW
G-2 from DTR - 25% increase, 150mW
AixiZ acrylic - 0, reference measurement, 120mW
Red coated glass 3 element - 4% reduction, 115mW

I don't have a G-9 to compare with, would not expect it to beat the 650-G-1, as it is coated for
blue.

dose anyone know the focus point of the G2 lens ?
