Title: Panamorph Paladin Owner's Thread
Post by: yankiy on December 11, 2018, 02:43:12 PM: Looks like Panamorph is having a special December sale on the Paladin lens system (http://"https://www.panamorph.com/product/paladin-xm2-avsforum-special/"). You can get it through Craig and Mike, thanks Mike. At that price I’m going for it (Merry Christmas to me hehe). I’ve got a JVC DLA-x990 projecting 18 feet from a 135” diagonal 2.35:1 screen so my math says that’s about a 1.73:1 throw ratio – within the spec. I have a NanoEdge screen so I’ll have to see if my 0.4” border is enough for any residual edge distortion, if not, I will just use the masking option in the JVC. If it works anything like the magic they’re talking about on the Paladin DCR owner’s thread then it seems like a steal for a lens that works up to 8K.

When I look around there doesn’t seem to be an Owner’s Thread for the standard Paladin so here we go... I will get some before and after shots once the lens is in my hands. :)

So what do you think of the lens? Any screen shots ?
