I would like to draw the attention of Members to the ability of Van Eck, in "The Netherlands" to supply 'scope brackets to order via a 3D printer.
A visit to the website will show all the 'scope brackets which are available for many different projectors.
I give one below purely as an example. It's for the popular Eiki/Elf series N, R and ST.

Anamorphic Lens Holder # PP-0087 €79 euros. This will accept lenses with a diameter 0f 62-64mm.
To enable lenses of less diameter an adapter is required. This fits into the lens holder to reduce its OD.
PP 0188. D42. 41-44mm
PP 0188. D45. 44-47mm
PP 0188. D48. 47-50mm
PP 0188. D51. 50-53mm
PP 0188. D54. 53-56mm
PP 0188. D57. 56-59mm
PP 0188. D60. 59-62mm

I bought a free standing lens holder from Van Eck as I have 16mm and super 8mm scope films. Very happy with it.

The bracket to which Larry refers is individually suitable for use with many different projectors.
The stand-alone bracket is suitable for anamorphic lenses between 32mm and 75mm. The cost is €110 Euro.

Wow! I'm sure that they are of good quality, but is there anyone on this forums that, with a 3D printer, could manufacture these in the U.S. and for a much lower price?

I mean, it's just plastic. [Smile]

You could, of course, mount an anamorphic on a pile of books. [Big Grin]

Don't use a scope lens at all. Just angle the projector at about 45 degrees to the screen!
