Do you need new ones because originals are broken or faded?
If just milky & faded (like mine were) you can get them looking new by dissolving bicarbonate of soda in water & rubbing it with a cloth over the lense. It's just abrasive enough to clean 30 years of grime but doesn't damage lense.
I finished off with car wax to give them a shine. Took an hour a lense to do but much cheaper than some NOS lenses..
