WTB: 58mm aspheric lens

The title says it all…

Anyone have a 58mm aspheric lens (like found at DX) you can part with?

EDIT: Sorry, I meant to put this in the “Want to buy” forum

I don't have one to sell, but you can move the location.

I have one but I will not Sell it. It has Flaws Junk. I am looking for a 60-62mm x 24-25mm.

Just moved it. I was in a big hurry when I posted this and figured typing that was quicker than searching for the edit function to move it. Now I know where it is and that, in fact, is quicker :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ve read that lens is kind of hit or miss. I could probably manage a 60mm.

Please let me know when/if you locate one.

I have two of that dx lens. both junk.

I have this lens - it is good (I’ve purchased 2 of each size they sell, all good)

Outer diameter and bulge diameter are slightly less than crelant aspheric, and so is the focal length.

overall is more like 65mm, and the lip is ~3mm. Sorry for the ambiguity. Haven’t come across either of my dial calipers since I moved lol

If you sanded the lip, it is hard to say if you’d have enough of an edge left to align the lens, even then you might have to open up the bezel for the bulge to fit.

Here’s an Optolife at 60mm

They get good reviews, of course the ONE negative comment (on the other board) was towards the 60mm size. Go figure :stuck_out_tongue:

It’s $18 plus shipping though. It BETTER work! :smiley:

EDIT: $26 to gamble a particular aspheric will work just doesn’t factor into my flashlight budget, coming from overseas to boot.

I got mine from KD

Thanks! I hadn’t browsed KD in a while and it looks like they have a very wide selection of aspheric lenses. I’m shocked actually.

I think I’ll just buy what I need this weekend and hope for the best. At least I’m not spending a lot so if it doesn’t ship out before CNY then no biggie.

Although, as long as KD gets it out within the next 10 days (they better!) then I think HKP tries to get everything out that makes the cutoff before they shut down. They usually run a few days into the general celebration period. As long as KD processes normally then I think it should ship before they shut down. I haven’t had any problems with them yet.

i have the 60mm from KD its not the greatest. wavy imperfection buried in the glass. i am still going to use it in an experimental host. then if it works i’ll buy a better one. cheap experiment.

Well, turns out I need 58mm (oops… i fixed the thread title) and I can’t find one in that size anyway. Looks like I’m gonna scrap this project. Can’t find 59mm either (could grind it down).
