Can anyone advise what projector lens I could fit to a Gem projector that would have a large aperture?

Don't really understand the question. Are you looking for a lens to give you a big picture?

I want a lens with a larger aperture to give a brighter picture.

Pathescope sales literature only shows lenses of differing focal length available for the Gem/Son.
Unfortunately, there is no mention of any lenses with a larger aperture.

It's not a larger aperture you need, it's a quality lens with fast glass that lets more light through. Aperture size is more relative to camera lenses.
