Thanks for the welcome. As for 1.85:1, I'm not sure about the lens. I have the MF1 and lens right now but it is not all setup. My MF1 is currently just sitting on a tall cabinet with thick pieces of foam underneath the projector (the pj needs to be ran inversed and I don't want to scratch it). My screen just arrived at my home today but won't be setup until tomorrow (hopefully, if everything goes smoothly) so I can't really tell you. The lens is NOT automated or controlled electronically. ISCO does have a motorized mount but it costs as much as the lens itself so I passed on it. I will be implementing a manual sliding mechanism for the lens though. I might pick up the motorized slider later on maybe (thing is mighty expensive for what it is). The cool thing though is that I got a 2-way horizontal masking screen so the masking controller is setup with presets for all the major formats, ie. 4:3, 16:9/1.78:1, 1.85:1, 2.35:1. It is a 2.35 screen though. I wanted the constant height setup. I will let you know within a week or two though. Just give me some time to play around with it.

Towel? It didn't matter. lol.

Best regards,
Chris

Excessive? Never.
