This new lens, featuring optics from Konica-Minolta, represents a fully assembled turnkey solution for enhancing the performance of Marantz projectors. High-Performance Lens Can Easily Be Retrofitted to Installed Projectors This new anamorphic lens features a quiet motorized lens/sled assembly that not only provides for smooth, quiet operation but can be retrofitted for use with virtually any VP-11S1, VP-11S2 or VP-15S1 already installed in a home theater system.
