Want to buy DK1 lens set

I'm DIY-ing an HMD, and I have a screen at identical size and resolution to the Rift DK1. This being the case, Rift DK1 lenses would give me exactly the right FOV and warp to match the Oculus-ready screen warping that TriDef et al. supply. Given that Rifts shipped with three sets of identical lenses (in different housings), I'm hoping there's someone willing to part with a set.

I'd also appreciate any other ideas for places to look for a set.

hi there

your best bet is to get some off ebay, i am making a portable rift at the moment and am using these,

if your making it from scratch anyway then these should do the trick.

How about these MP-10?

http://www.electro-optix.com/magpocket.html

check with 10X at 16$ its same good as original DK1
More meaningful to buy then 5x at $13 from ebay.

You can try MP-12 (12X) to at same price.For even higher FOV and immersion.

Do post your result and findings :)
