Author Topic: NEC NC800 lenses William F Green Film Handler Posts: 84 From: Brighton, East Sussex, UK Registered: Jun 2005 posted 06-19-2012 09:13 AM                     Hi all, We have an NEC NC800c in the UK and need to install it in a venue with a very short projection throw. Before I ask around the usual UK suppliers can anybody tell me if lenses from other machines/manufacturers will fit the NEC 800? The lens mount is in the form of a mounting-ring that clamps around the body of the lens. The mounting-ring has 3 pins that then engage with the projector. It may be that mounting ring could fit other lenses (it is removable) but I do need to retain the power zoom. By the way - this NEC is fitted with a later-type lens mount and is NOT the lens mount shown in the NEC manual which is totally different.  |  IP: Logged Dominic Espinosa Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1172 From: California, U.S.A.
