This lens is an aggressive wide-angle, F/2.5 Rear Projection TV (RPTV) lens with excellent distortion control and resolution across the entire field. The lateral color is controlled to 6 microns throughout the field. It is designed to deliver a 62 inch diagonal image with a front focal length (throw distance) of only 33.5 inches. The lens may also be refocused to accomodate other screen sizes, all the way from 72 to 48 inch diagonal with good performance. It was designed for a 23.4mm diagonal DLP with a 21.3mm SF4 TIR beamsplitter in the back focal region and is, therefore, telecentric in the back focal region. It can also be used in a color-sequential LCOS system. It has a reduced number of elements compared to other comparable lens designs in order to minimize cost and incorporates common Schott glasses and plastic aspheres.

Due to the aggressive performance parameters, illumination rolloff suffers somewhat in this design. Vertex-to-vertex length of this lens is 110mm, and maximum barrel diameter is 65mm.
