robertpaines Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Does anyone know of any companies that hold EDLT tubes in hire stock?I'm trying to get hold of a single 50 degree tube for a fortnight from the 15th July for our graduation ceremonies, but none of my usual sources seem to have them. We've tried both Whitelight and Stage Electrics as well as a bunch of local companies down here, so I'm hoping someone has them somewhere. Thanks.

jonathanhill Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 PRG?I reckon you would get stuffed on the carriage. The only place that I have seen 50 degree EDLT's is at Curve in Leicester. I am sure that places like ROH and The Colly would have them if it is possible to tap up a contact. I would seriously consider buying the lens as an option, as it may be difficult to hire. 36 degree EDLT's would be the obvious choice for a hire company to have due to the atrocious optics of the standard 36 degree. The standard 50 degree lens has a single lens, and therefore suffers less from the aberrations that a double lens tube will. It is therefore trickier to justify the expense of a lens that will only provide a slightly better image. If the use of this lens is critical, then purchase may be the only option.
