Oi you lot,

Hmm. Third one I've seen. Someone on the German eBay site is also offering one, but he's listing it for the second time. I can't tell whether it's another lens for sale, or whether he only has one and the winner of the first auction failed to pay for it, so he had to relist it.

Maybe the number in Germany explains the lack of them elsewhere! I got one recently from there, mentioned here a while back.
If anyone bids for the one indicated in Sam's post, take care because although the eBay listing says 1.2, the photos clearly show a 1.4!

The 1.2 is much rarer than the 1.4.
The 1.2 is really superb. This is the lens that John and Keith use at the BFCC shows.
Kev.

So you use a 25mm-50mm lens to achieve a 24ft wide picture? The distance between projector and screen must be huge. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

About 70 feet.

Photos now show a 1.2, not a 1.4. Surprised this has not been snapped up on 'buy it now'; the other one may go for less but could go higher.
