Hi. Just found this forum and was hoping to get some help.

I have built a standard projector based on the lumenlab design but I am now trying to build a more portable version.

I am trying to squeeze everything inside an old computer case, using a portable dvd player for the lcd and a short throw triplet. The problem I am having is the triplet has a short focal length, approx 12cm. Does anybody know of any place where I can get a fresnel lens with a focal length that will be close to that of the triplet?
