Condenser lenses - which and where to find in Germany?
 

Hi,

I'm - of course :) - currently working on my own 35mm adapter and I am searching for the right condenser lens and a place to buy them in Germany or somewhere else without to much costs to ship to Germany.

Of course I searched for German forums and websites, but condensers are 35mm-discussions are hard to find and since people on this forum are so specialized for this topic, I cant find a better solution than to ask here.

Is the size of the lens important? Which dioptrin should it have?
What is a good prize? Where should I buy it (preferably Germany)?

If you could help me I would owe you forever (although I wouldnt really know how to pay you back :)


Thanks,

Manuel

wow...such a quick answer..THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!!

Now..I just have to find the right one...but I guess browsing the forum will help...although all those discussions are real intense and alot to read.

Thank you!

Happy to help.
Firstly, what camcorder are you using on the adapter?

Okay, so here's my setup (for now).

Sony DCR-TRV60E

TamronSP 1:2,8-3,8/35-80mm (the most light-intense lens I could find that could still zoom for a low prize)

Rotating groundglass (not yet build, perhaps some other technique)
