Hi Guys
Does anyone have, or know where I may get a lens for a Bolex SM80 Programatic projector

Any help would be appreciated [Frown]

Look for a lens from a wrecked Bolex SP8 or SP8E, they will also fit perfectly.

Barrel diameter in Eumig 607, 610, 807, 810 projectors is also identical to SM80, but the focusing system is different. I guess a lens from these Eumigs can be used if You can modify the body of the lens to fit SM80's focusing system (or move the focusing system from the lens-donoring Eumig)

Edit:
I checked my lenses and found an Eupronet 1,6/17-30 with Eumig 607D having a 100% compatibility with SM80. The lens' barrel has the vertical groove for Eumig and on the opposite side it has the flat area with a small nipple on it for Bolex SM80's focusing system.
