Camera's lie. They aren't as powerful as the human eye. Likewise, on some of the videos, I caught a couple of things that looked odd optically with gobos and colors in. Cameras aren't really helping, so I want to see for myself.
Not saying I don't believe you Jim, just seeing is believing. There are also a few things I would test out myself. For example, how the iris effects the optics, how much of an angle I can have it and still focus a gobo end to end, and comparing it to a much warmer color temperature source like lekos.
