I thought I never needed a scope lens, but now I have a Super 8mm film The Beatles Come to Town and it's a scope. I would need some help here. My projector is a Yelco DS-610 M (Yamawa) and I would need a lens for enjoying my film. All hints and offers welcome!

If you only have one scope film so far and don't intend to collect many more, I would look for a very reasonably priced one on e bay etc that is suitable for use with Super 8mm machines.

Even using just a free standing bracket, scope set ups for our projectors soon become a very expensive project in many instances.

A Kowa 8-Z lens is one of the most desirable scope lenses for Super 8mm usage, however these can soon become very expensive with many being advertised for sale on the second hand market in good condition for several hundreds of pounds!

Do you have a fixed budget in mind and do you anticipate yourself needing the lens for future scope purchases or just this particular film?

Thank you for a quick answer. My budget is low (around 50-70 $). It is my first scope movie, and if I had a lens, I guess I would not say no to owning some more.

that budget Urmas, certainly limits your options but you may be lucky by trawling through ebay and the likes.

Just make sure it is serviceable for Super 8mm use by asking that question before you buy anything.
