Eiki lenses are 42.5mm standard. You can sleeve an Elmo lens to fit an Eiki but you can't make 52.5mm lenses fit.
Lenses for Bauer, Philips, Kinoton Siemens, and Meopta projectors will fit an Eiki. ICE in Florida had a bunch of 35-65mm Isco Kiptaron zooms that they were selling on ebay for around $150 each, and that is a pretty sharp lens in that mount. Certainly sharper than any of the vintage lenses. You could call and ask if they still had any in stock. 35mm is not super short throw, but it's about as short as you can get and still keep good edge sharpness and it's dirt cheap compared with a new prime lens. --scott _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list [email protected] https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
