I am in need of an anamorphic lens for my Eiki 16mm projector. Anyone have a spare they can part with?

Found one and purchased. Now to get a holder for my Eikis.

Van Eck perhaps, but shipping might be expensive ifyou are in the US

Which one did you get Don?

The lens I purchased is a PROSKAR ISHICO 2x Anamorphic. The seller accepted offers and it came in way under what others were starting at. Upon inspection, it looks very good, just need the bracket to put on my projector now. I did come across Van Eck, but like Vidar says, the shipping is costly to the US. I am hopeful about getting something though...halfway there.

Maybe Larry Urbanski or Steve Osborne could help?

Hi Don,

Which Eiki projector will you be using the scope lens on? The suggestions offered by Maurice/Vidar are worth looking into--as Steve Osborne and Van-Eck have many nice items.

I have used the factory mount for the scope lens on Eiki SSL-0, SSL-0L, and the Bell & Howell 3580 (Super Slim Slotload clone) with an Eiki anamorphic lens. What I like about this is the scope lens can be mounted and aligned and then "swung" up in front of the prime lens when needed. It can also be "swung" down when not needed. From what I understand, the recommendation is to get the prime lens properly focused without the scope lens in place, and then add the scope lens and focus that for any final focus adjustments based on throw etc. This process is a bit easier, I feel, with the factory lens mount which does not require removal of the mount/scope lens. I am not familiar with Van-Eck's or Steve Osborne's mounts to know if they support this in a similar way as the factory mount.

One other friendly suggestion: Verify the diameter of the anamorphic lens you have will fit properly into whatever scope mount you end up going with.

Here is the correct scope bracket which Greg refers to. It always stays in position moving up for scope use, although the anamorphic lens has to be fitted after moving up the bracket.
However, the Proskar isn't too large and might fit but it's doubtful if the side cover would fit on.
A few of my Elf (Eiki) projectors have this bracket and I can thoroughly recommend it.

It will be going on an SNT-0 projector. I did see that listing and am waiting to hear back from Steve at Reel Image.

Thank you all for the responses :)
