0.9 Focal length Wide Angle Fresnel Lens
Thank you, ghost1 - I ordered this lens from snapshotsniper.com, and my old Moultrie A-5 (Gen 2) model MCG-12699 is working again. The 0.9 focal length of the lens is inches, and my distance to the PIR sensor from the Fresnel lens recessed mounting seat of the camera's housing is more like 0.75 inch, so I just mounted it directly onto the outermost housing to get it closer to 0.9 inch. I paid the regular shipping cost up front, but Gary at Snapshot Sniper unexpectedly credited most of the shipping cost by mailing it in a regular letter envelope, so it only cost me about $4 total. Glad I could keep this old camera going versus trashing it - thanks again. FYI - my camera's original Fresnel lens became brittle, probably from prolonged UV exposure, and it crumbled to pieces when trying to wipe it clean.
