Reversible Converter lens 0.6x / 1.5x

[Matthieu van der Sluis]

Who has used this Reversible Converter lens 0.6x / 1.5x and what was you're experiense?
How much does this effect the picture quallity?
In my livingroom I cannot fill my screen completely, so I'm thinking of using this lens, but when it effects the quallity too much, I rather accept the smaller picture.

I think you need a lensholder for this right?

I have a Braun 1.1 11-30mm lens in use in a Elmo converter by v. Eck
also have a !.1 12,5-25mm Elmo lens

Hi Matthieu...The link Ed gave you is for 16mm projectors. The following thread might be more helpful.

The photos in this thread show I am just placing the wide angle lens in front of my regular lens. This works but obviously not optimal. I'm currently working on designing a height adjustable stand and holder for the lens.

As far as the lens you are mention...I think there will be quality issues. I have found that you need a very large wide angle lens to avoid distortion on the sides of the projected image. The lens you show just doesn't look large enough, but if you already have it, then try it. If you were thinking of buying it....I would pass.

Thank you.
