Using the Jetlaser's Beam Expander for high divergence diodes (eg 44)

Hi all,

So after a bit research and asking around, I found that some believe that the Jetlaser's beam expander isn't really suitable for a high divergence diode such as the 44 or the 7475, as the beam might be clipped.
In other words, choosing the Sanwu BE for such a laser is probably the wiser choice for these high divergence builds. What do you all think?

Also in a side note, what do you focus your primary lens at when using a beam expander (I have a PL-E mini 520nm green)? I am not sure if I am doing the focusing correctly. Do you set it in for the shortest focal point possible or the longest?


Cheers,
