weebster 17 Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Probably the quickest option is stock optics in the uk,but you'll pay more for it than the same lens from china. Unless there are any on the forums or bay....have you asked on the nvf forum? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gosling1960 191 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Yes asked on there and they said stock optics, was hoping a member might have had one kicking around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weebster 17 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 The only spare lens I have is a stock optics 9-22mm zoom board lens,that won't be any good to you. Try the airgun forum,somebody might have one there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless there are any on the forums or bay....have you asked on the nvf forum? the 16mm lenses from stock optics are of a far superiour quality to the chinese ones...they might both be 16mm,but thats where the similarity ends,as in all things...you get what you pay for Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well that's the difference then,the one I have from china didn't come free with any camera,obviously the freebies are shite.

I never said the ones in the 2nd link were 16mm,just saying they are identical in build and performance How do you measure a len's mega pixel?
