I am using a SOny VPL-VW50 projector with a 100" diagonal 16:9 screen. The throw distance according to Sony is roughly 17feet. Where my projector is installed(custom box in the rear wall, with no real ability to relocate) gives me a throw distance of 24ft. It was suggested that I get a long throw lens. My contact at Sony recommended Navitar. Navitar suggested a SST150 lens converter with table stand. The projector is upright and basically sitting on a shelf. Is this lens converter the best way to go? What will the quality be like? Competitors at a lower price? What other options are out there? Will any other projector of similar size have the ability throw 24ft to 100 inches? doug_214@hotmail.com
