My daughter's schoool is going to have a 'early cinema' themed parade later this year. To get in the mood I offered to show them some shorts on 16mm and S8 some time next month. There is a piano and pianist available. I'm going to bring the projectors, screen and a pile of films.

However, the projection throw is quite a bit greater than at home, so the lenses I use at home are a bit one the short side. I have a 35-65mm zoom lens, but even at 65mm I have to put the projector to far into the hall. I would like a longer lens. To buy would be great, but if I can borrow (from a fellow UK collector) for this occasion, than that would help me out as well.I know there was a 75mm lens available. If anyone could help me with that lens, that would be great. If there are other long lenses available, than I would like to hear about that as well.

Thanks!

Something to look for is the original Elmo zoom lens, which is a 1:1.7 50-100mm
Never saw one, though.

Hello Rob
I have an Elmo 75mm prime lens and also the rarer Elmo 50mm to 100mm zoom lens, both fit the 16CL - I'll send you a PM with more details soon.
