will a 1.5' lens fit in a 2' holder on a epilog lens holder?

will a 1.5' lens fit in a 2' holder on a epilog lens holder? I dont want to pay £345 for a simple holder and will just swap the lens out! Also the epilog lens is about $200 is this about right, is there a supplier of optics that some can recommend so i can compare prices? cheers

I buy my lenses from Laser Research Optics. Their site lets you start with the type of laser you have, so you get the correct matching diameter. They offer 1.5". 2" 2.5" and 4". (But I want a 3"!) And, uhhh, at least for the Minis, Epilog USA is selling the wedge shape mount now for about $28. (But you also need the square pieces that hold the lens and mirror in place - those are another $7.50 or so each.) A new mount (with all parts), mirror, (from Epilog) and a new lens (from Laser Research Optics) should come at less than $345, much less 345 pounds!!!

Theres a reason why it's called rip-off Britain!

yes the lens will fit. I buy from Laser research, but if memory serves me, they have a $100.00 min.
