This Tensioned Advantage Deluxe Electrol 16:10 Wide Format Motorized Projection Screen from Da-Lite has a 100.0 x 160.0" viewing area with a DA-Tex flame retardant and mildew-resistant finish.

DA-Tex is a rear screen, translucent neutral gray finish with a 1.3 Gain rating and 30° (L/R) viewing angle. It is characterized by high transmission and low reflectance values. Color rendition is true and contrast is good. This finish is especially suitable for lace and grommet screens. If the finish becomes soiled, it can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Tensioning on each side of the fabric assures a flat, undistorted surface that eliminates any chance of a skewed image.

One of the major advantages of this screen is that the fabric roller can either be factory installed or at your chosen location after the ceiling recessed, UL Plenum rated extruded aluminum white housing has been roughed in. The enables you to finish the initial installation but choose your screen finish at a later date.

The screen includes two motors; one for the ceiling door and one for the fabric. The interior roller features a quick reversal motor, oiled for life, with automatic thermal overload cutout, integral gears, capacitor, and an electric brake to prevent coasting when the screen is stopped at a chosen length. The built-in Low Voltage Control controls up/down and stop functions using the included 12VDC three-position switch that can be wall mounted where convenient. It can also be operated from an optional radio frequency, infrared or auxiliary transmitter.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this work on my old Asahi Pentax K-1000?

A: No. It will mount and you can manually focus, but youd have no aperture control. This lens has no aperture ring and is meant solely for electronically controlled cameras. I still have my old K-1000a fine camera!

Q: 2. Will this lens work on an older Pentax film body such as a P3 or an MZ-50? I know the fstop needs to be set by the camera, and that the focal length will be, I presume, 35mm, I'm just concerned about the mount and connection with the contact info.

A: It will definitely heavy heavy vignetting. The lens is designed to cover the 18-24mm aps-c sensor size not the 24-36mm full frame of 35mm film. The corners of the images will be very dark.

Q: 3. Can you use this lens in the rain like a WR lens or is the SP coating not strong enough?

A: I would never use this lens in the rain. If I had it out and it started misting I'd point the camera down (and I'd be using a rain-resistant Pentax, probably my K5-iis), but if it didn't quit or if it got worse I'd put the camera & lens in my camera bag. I would take a WR lens on days I thought it might rain, or simply be prepared to put the camera away if i was using a lens like the 35mm DAL. I have never had good luck taking photos in the rain anyway. I've done it and some of them are worth saving, but none were great. If I needed to be out on a rainy day I'd probably use my 18-135WR or perhaps the 18-55WR. As to the SP coating, I don't think that has anything to do with rain resistance. Lawrence
