Looking for this Bolex Projector lens!

[Barry Fritz]

Must be! I have several of the 25.

Just checked and I have nothing but the 25mm size.

Thanks Barry for looking. It seems the 15 mm was not as common as the 25 mm. At least that's my impression.

Not what you want Shane but I have a 20mm. Someone will help I am sure

Thanks Lee! Yeah I have two 20 mm lenses in my collection. I have a 15 mm in the 25 diameter size, but that of course won't work in the Bolex SM8.

I am looking for a Bolex "hifi" prime 1.3 15mm projector lens, 28mm diameter. These 28 mm diameter lenses were supplied with the Bolex 18-5L Super, and the Bolex SM8. It's the Bolex SM8 that I am looking to use this lens in. I am currently using a Bolex prime 1.3 20 mm that gives excellent results, but a 15 mm lens would allow me to set the projector closer to the screen. Trying to find one of these later 15 mm lenses is proving difficult. The earlier 15 mm 25 diameter lens is plentiful but not the 28 diameter. If anyone has one and would like to sell it, please send me a message. Thanks in advance!
