Hi,
does anyone have a 25mm (1') lens they would be prepared to sell that would fit the above projector?

Thanks,
Dave

Hi,
I'm having trouble finding a 25mm lense for this projector; would another 25mm lense fit this projector other than an Isco Super Kiptor f1.4?

Thanks,
Dave

Dave - people say that the lenses for Eiki (aka Elf) projectors can be used in the Bauer P series, and as I'm an Eiki owner who recently obtained a P8, I've just checked and can confirm that it's the case. Eiki 25mm lenses are not difficult to find on eBay or elsewhere, although you may have to pay around £100 for one.

I presume your P7 probably came with a zoom lens, which seems to be an unusual characteristic of these projectors.

Hi Adrian,
thanks very much for that info.

Yes, it came with a 35-65mm zoom. Being new to 16mm I wrongly assumed with a zoom lense it would be fine to fill my screen (1.5m wide) from about 12 ft.
