WTB: Focotar 40mm / APO Componon HM 40mm

Hi all,

Recently acquired two Focomat V35s; one complete with Heiland split grade and all modules and the other for parts missing a few bits. I would like to restore the second unit and dedicate it to colour printing, I have fixed the electrical issues and will need to machine a new lamp holder but unfortunately the lens was pinched!

So I am after a good replacement 40mm either the original focotar or an APO lens (machining a new cam would be another fun project). No rush on this one so will wait for a good deal, let me know if you have anything!

Cheers

Interesting to machine the cam.

Do not have my unit on hand but if I remember well the lens serial number is hand written on the cam.

Weekly bump!

I do not think it would be difficult, just a lot of trial and error to get the curve correct. I'll have to check re the serial.
