I have a scope bracket that is suppose to fit 50-52mm lenses. Can anyone help me find a lens I can use for both my Bauer P7 Synchro 16mm and my Elmo ST-1200D MO?

Could I use something like this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/ISCO-Ultra-Star-50mm-Integrated-Anamorphic-35mm-Cine-Projector-Lens-GOLD-/251105641031?pt=US_Movie_Slide_Projectors&hash=item3a77100247

I had a deal that was all done, but this norwegian turned out to not be a man of his words. Can't believe that people retract their offers that has been accepted ...

Vidar, that's an integrated lens for 35mm and combines both the prime lens and the anamorphic lens. The 50mm indicated in the description is the focal lens and not the barrel size

You should look for something like that:

But ask the seller the barrel size as there were some lenses with 42mm diameter.

Thank you, I still don't know what to search for if this isn't fitting ... Is there any numbers, names or anything that would describe what I need?

Thanks for the link, dropped a message, waiting for reply now :-)

BTW: This lens seem to be for filming, does that matter at all? Are they the same?

And how about this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bell-Howell-anamorphic-lens-Isco-Sankor-Kowa-/121056735763?pt=Camera_Lenses&hash=item1c2f8b3213

Bell&Howell lenses are particular, because you don't have a lens holder in the projector but you screw the anamorphic one on the prime lens.
Mainly anamorphic lenses can be used also for filming (unless you have a specific lens for a cinecamera, that can't be used in other places...), even if it's more difficult as you have to focus both on the camera lens and on the anamorphic one (same thing you have to do when you use it on a projector).

Simply look for "anamorphic lens" but don't consider the 35mm ones ;-) (they're simply bigger and have a minimum focus distance that is usually not suitable in a house, but they are brighter than the 16mm ones!!).
Here some examples:
