Greetings,
I just upgraded from 8mm to 16mm and wanted to know if EIKI made a zoom lens because the picture is half the size my F1.1 Elmo is.
The image the picture projects is just way too small to enjoy.

I just looked at my lens and the top rim edge is bent. The threads are smashed together so I would not be able to screw on a lens adapter on this lens. I will need a zoom barrel lens if EIKI even made one or a new Eiki Lens that I can screw the adapter on.

Any advise on the subject would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Roger

Alessandro,
I just looked at my lens and the top rim edge is slightly bent so the threads are all smashed together thus preventing me from screwing any lens adapter on it.

Did EIKI make a regular barrel type zoom lens that would work with this projector?
Thanks,
Roger

Several types of actual zoom lenses (not optical attachments) were made for Eiki projectors. Usually in the 35-65 focal range. The ones made for Bauer machines are also compatible.
Here's an example.
