I am looking for lens that would cover 1700mm at infinity. Obviously these kind of photographic lenses don't come cheap (if you can find one). A friend of mine suggested I try rear projection tv lenses. I thought if they can cover 60 inch tv screen, maybe they would be good. But I can't find any information about focal lengths, view angles nor image circles for them. I was wondering if anyone played with one of these and could tell me more about them.
I saw this thread and it's kind of promising:
