I took the HD-10L's off of two projectors... One has little spacers and one doesn't.

What is correct? Spacers between the lens flange and C element ring or no spacers???

Hello

Never seen spacers, must be shims to enable closer focus

Could be. They look like little washers around the hex cap screws that hold the lenses on. They reside between the lens flange and the C-element mounting ring. It looks like they have some kind of slow sticky adhesive on them so that they stick while the lens is mounted.

I wonder if spacing the lens out allows for a larger screen to be focused with the HD-10L?

Why dont you try with and without spacers, and see how the focus and trow look like ?

If it works for better corner focus or different trow it might be a interesting tweak.

Never had spacers.

HD-10L are sharp corner to corner without them.

Ok. Going to try both ways to see while setting up the stack.
