Unsure if here or home cinema would be the best for this, but we've bought this awesome working 16mm projector as a prop for a film shoot. Ideally we'd like to use its projection as part of the film (as opposed to faking it with CG/a modern projector) but its got an incredibly long throw; it's basically a cinema projector.

As you can see from one of the photos below the projection size is probably about A3 from ~3m away.

Are there any wide-angle adapters we could get for the lens to open it up a bit? Might be tricky because the lens sits alongside the projector (rather than jutting out) but thought it worth asking.

The thing came with 4 reels as well, one is a colour tour of Africa from the ~50s with narration, it's amazing. Anyway, photos at https://imgur.com/a/m5beimp.
