Hi all,
Happy Easter [Smile]

!!! I'm still looking for a perfectly fitting short throw lend for my Kodak Pageant AV 126 TR. I had gotten one suggested by a forum member but it didn't fit perfectly and cropped the four edges diagonally [Frown]

... Thanks again and I eagerly anticipate to see what y'all got 4 me [Smile]

!!!

Best,
ET

I had this dilemma with my Bell & Howell TQ3. You can get short throw lenses but at ridiculous prices so I use a 8mm Specto lens with a sleeve which I had made and I get a 3 foot picture from a 6ft throw! Don't know if you can get Spectos out there but other 8mm lenses can be adapted, just make sure that the rear lens is large enough in diameter so as not to crop the corners of the picture.

Hi Terry,

I'm just now seeing this response, thanks a lot and welcome to the forum [Smile]

!!! Yep, I recently got lucky with a set of three awesome lenses so should be good for now but will be sure to let you know how it goes regardless [Wink]
