Hello all. Does anyone have a spare 1.3 lens that they can sell me? Must be clean optically. They are pretty common but when you need one they are never around. [Smile]

Wish I had one to give you Alan, but sadly just the 1.1 in my last remaining ST.

Hope someone soon comes to the rescue here for you though buddy. [Wink]

We may be looking for the same thing, Alan. I have an Elmo FP-C dual 8 movie projector and I am looking for a clean/clear replacement of the projection lens. Mine has mold or haziness inside that clouds the image. The lens spec is "F:1.3 f=20~32mm". It is a push fit and the shaft diameter measures 0.990 inch.
An alternative I suppose would be to clean it but it doesn't appear to me to be possible to disassemble.

I believe I may have one I could sell because I could use another lens in the ST1200 (think I have a Schneider 1.1 I can use). Need to check it out first.

Let me know if you find it and price please! Many thanks everyone for the replies.

Alan did ask first. If another one becomes available for sale with the spec "F:1.3 f=20~32mm" for an Elmo FP-C, please let me know.

Thanks much!

Hi Alan,
I have a 1.3 15mm-25mm lens available.
Just drop me a line if you still need it.
Mike

PM sent and email. Thanks Mike!
John, I don't think that the lens you are looking for is the same as the 1.3 I'm looking for. I need the 15-25mm and I'm not sure the lenses are compatible due to the diameter but I'm not 100% positive as I've never owned the FP-C. But I do know that machines that can accommodate the 1.3 15-25mm can also fit the 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, and the 1.1. I don't think the FP-C can fit those other lenses. Good luck though!

Good to know, Alan. And thanks for the info. I'll need to keep a lookout for the specific lens: "F:1.3 f=20~32mm" for an Elmo FP-C. The diameter of the shaft for this push-fit lens measures 0.990 inch.

Glad you got sorted Alan. I'll put it back in the Elmo!
