        I made an inquiry about this. Each individual lens is 12,000 yen. Currently, $96.65 US dollars. Need 3 to do triple head.

        ---------
        Copy of their reply to me:

        The FREX LENS we can provide you.:
        Size 450mmX550mm Yen12,000.-/each. Need 3 for Triple monitor.
        excluding shipping cost.

        This may be cover15" to21" monitor size I think.


        1. Cut center lens width.
        Both left and right side of center Lens to fit center monitor with zoom view width.

        2. Cut Left and Right Lens.
        Cut left and right Lens to fit monitor center to Lens center.

        3. Place 3 lens to L shaped any steel frame.

        You can cut it by cutting blade for Acrylics board easily.


        I can send it by bank transfer payment basis, sorry for your incontinences.

        Please tell me if you want place order, I will inform you our bank information.


        Best regards,

          That's a wee bit pricey when I can get these for the same price



          It's 38" x 50"

          but (and it's a big one) shipping is $46!

          remember that if your thinking about the the one ROM posted & coming from overseas

          (I can get smaller ones too)

            Actually, I'm now thinking of making my own. I've made smaller lenses, from acrylic, at work. That stuff from overseas, is really too expensive. I can just imagine, making a false cut and screwing up (more than the price of another Parhelia).

                The actual fabrication poses no problems, only, time and opportunity.

                            ah, except that he needs Windows 98 to run much of the hardware and he was only hoping to use a Parhelia in it...
