Hello all. Does anyone have a spare 1.3 lens that they can sell me? Must be clean optically. They are pretty common but when you need one they are never around. [Smile]

Wish I had one to give you Alan, but sadly just the 1.1 in my last remaining ST.

Hope someone soon comes to the rescue here for you though buddy. [Wink]

We may be looking for the same thing, Alan. I have an Elmo FP-C dual 8 movie projector and I am looking for a clean/clear replacement of the projection lens. Mine has mold or haziness inside that clouds the image. The lens spec is "F:1.3 f=20~32mm". It is a push fit and the shaft diameter measures 0.990 inch.
An alternative I suppose would be to clean it but it doesn't appear to me to be possible to disassemble.

I believe I may have one I could sell because I could use another lens in the ST1200 (think I have a Schneider 1.1 I can use). Need to check it out first.

Alan did ask first. If another one becomes available for sale with the spec "F:1.3 f=20~32mm" for an Elmo FP-C, please let me know.

Thanks much!

Hi Alan,
I have a 1.3 15mm-25mm lens available.
Just drop me a line if you still need it.

PM sent and email. Thanks Mike!
John, I don't think that the lens you are looking for is the same as the 1.3 I'm looking for. I need the 15-25mm and I'm not sure the lenses are compatible due to the diameter but I'm not 100% positive as I've never owned the FP-C. But I do know that machines that can accommodate the 1.3 15-25mm can also fit the 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, and the 1.1. I don't think the FP-C can fit those other lenses. Good luck though!

Good to know, Alan. And thanks for the info. I'll need to keep a lookout for the specific lens: "F:1.3 f=20~32mm" for an Elmo FP-C. The diameter of the shaft for this push-fit lens measures 0.990 inch.

Glad you got sorted Alan. I'll put it back in the Elmo!
