Buhl 1" EFL superwide lens

Can anybody tell me more about this lens? Is it designed for cameras or projectors? I'm hoping to use it in my Eiki SSL-0 (I have a sleeve that fits the Eiki that I could put this lens into if necessary). Thanks for any info. [Cool]

Hi Jan

Looks like a 1-inch projection lens...

Dirt cheap too...

BTW - I've got some .625 inch lenses kicking around if you need a really big picture...

Thanks, but I'm not quite ready to set up an IMAX theater at home. [Wink]

Actually I would be perfectly happy with a 1.5" (38mm) lens...
