Yes you can buy shorter lenes for the B& H.
1.5", 32mm, 38mm and a 40mm
1" rare, and 0.625" very rare.
Best place is Ebay.
The shorter they get the higher thier prices due to demand.
There is an adaptor zoom which will screw into the 1.5" to 2.5" lenes and makes them + or - 12.5mm.
There ia a zoom lens f1.6 35mm to approx 65mm
also a zoom f1.3 32mm to approx 65mm

David

Welcome to the forum, I don't often drop into the 16mm section as my interest is mostly in 8mm, but it's always good to welcome a new member [Smile]

Welcome, Colin, you will find this is cat's pajamas as far as web forums. No attitudes here, just a bunch of swell people. Some sweller than others. Reminds me, I've got to stop buttering the popcorn. [Big Grin]

Hi Colin,

glad you were able to hook up with the seller and buy his lens. [Smile]

[Smile]

Seeing as that it's made in Japan... I'm not sure, it may not be an original B&H lens, it might be a Sankor or Buhl lens in a B&H sleeve... but it should be good nonetheless. [Smile]

[Smile]

I did have a 1-inch lens for my Eiki SSL-0 for a while but it was only rated f1:1.9 and I wanted something brighter, so I sold that one off... but somewhat regret it now. Ahwell, that homemade super-8-zoom-lens-stuffed-into-an-Eiki-sleeve of mine will tide me over 'till I find what I want. [Smile]

Colin,

To my understanding, the Japan made lens, is superior to the rest.
You've got a winner there.
