25mm lens soft focus?

[Robert Saraceno]

Can anyone recommend a 1" lens doesn't have issues with soft focus either on the sides or in the middle of the screen? I use an eiki Rt-0 and have a few bushings for different diameter lenses. Any advise would be appreciated.

How about this (semi) DIY route?

Fantastic idea. I already have an 42.5mm bushing. Would this lens do the job? https://www.ebay.com/itm/26338288085...Bk9SR8qsq_WKYg

I believe that's EXACTLY the same lens I've used. So yes it will definitely work.
(Of course it may be not tact sharp corners to corners. But should be more than good enough for casual/personal use.)

It says C mount.

C Mount lenses are for cameras, not projectors.

Yeah just it's a c mount lens. No matter I think I'm gonna try an isco 25mm or a Bauer.

The best thing to do if you can is buy an Elmo 1.4 20mm lens and rebush it.

Totally sparp all over.

Even the 12.5mm is.

Best Mark.

I've finally decided to take the plunge and go for a Bauer f1.8 20-60mm zoom lens.
