    Help figuring this one out!

    A guy needs a glass lens 75mm diameter lens + or - with a focal distance of 200mm to heat water with the sun! I am not sure of the application? What lens? I'm thinking a 75mm +4.50

    I think a lens of +5.00 would come closer to a 200mm focal length.

    Cat, Wes is agreeing with Chip. (As I do, a +5.00 has a focal length of 200mm.)
