Hi Tech support,
I would like to use the DLP LightCommander for a projection and capturing application. I am planning on switching the 50mm f1.8 lens that came with the light commander to a Nikon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 DX(non full frame) and I would like to know some information regarding using this lens on the light commander.
These are the following concerns:
Since the light commander uses a 1024x768, 0.55inch sensor chip, what is the difference in crop factor when using the 18mm end of the Nikon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 DX(non full frame) lens comparing to the Nikon 50mm f1.8. And also, what is the crop factor when using the original 50mm f1.8 lens.
On the TI form, http://e2e.ti.com/support/dlp__mems_micro-electro-mechanical_systems/f/387/t/122748.aspx#438481, it was stated that "You can use any F-mount lens, although we recommend lenses with at least F 2.5 or better." I've notice that the Nikon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 DX(non full frame) would have a largest aperture of f3.5; what would be the effect when using the Nikon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 DX(non full frame), or is this lens even compatible with the DLP light commander.
Regards,
Wayne
