hi all I just got hold of a proskar anamorphic16 lens and a couple of scope films. I need a mount to fit it to my Rank projector, it was sold as being previously on an Eiki/elf barrel is about 41mm, anyone know where I can get one of how to make one, my projector is fitted with a 30-60mm zoom. I know little on setting this up. thanks

Hi,

you don't have to screw it into your projector's lens. Using a device like the "Universalhalterung" shown in the link below and positioning the anamorphic lens right before the projector's lens would do:

Of course you don't have to buy such a device as you can construct it out of some wood and some pipe clips yorself...

thanks I will probably end up making a bracket, I was able to jubilee clip my standard 50mm lens to it using a barrel sleeve, but my zoom is a bit bigger so I'll have to construct a stand and bracket to match them up.
