see http://medfmt.8k.com/bronslideproj.html on MF slide projectors;
prices now are quite low, you can use non-glass slides, but most of the pros use glass slides to reduce "popping" etc. hth bobm -- ************************************************** ********************* * Robert Monaghan POB 752182 Southern Methodist Univ.

As Bob Monaghan stated MF projectors have really come down in price!! I have
seen even the outrageously priced Hasselblad PCP 80 come way down in the secondhand market. I had a Rollei 2 1/4 projector and was in awe at some of my slides that I hadn't really looked that closely at before. If there is a better way to view a slide I would like to know how. If the image is sharp you'll see all the detail as never before and if not sharp, well!--you'll see that too. I sold the Rollei but still have an old manual Bell & Howell that can make those slides really look good. Under $75 for mine. I've only used the glass type mounts!!

Here are the results of my first research : Here in Europe it seems rollei 66 is less wanted than the old P11 model. I'm not sure to find the reference you told me here in europe. By the way most of the P11 projectors are with the modest heidosmat lens. regards |

One more time:
There were many slide projectos made is this country up to about 1975 or so that took slides up to 3" x 4" (military). All you have to do is look on eBay. Golde is one, Bausch and Lomb is another and there are many more.I have purchased such a machine (Balopticon) for under $10 plus shipping. Your mileage may vary.

the markup in USA is huge on the Cabin 6x7cm slide proj. bought new (from MAC/Mamiya USA), but the same projector is often bought overseas for $400 new and imported for individual use under US Customs exemptions etc. see http://medfmt.8k.com/mf/hongkong.html for related details... grins bobm -- ************************************************** ********************* * Robert Monaghan POB 752182 Southern Methodist Univ.

Lets put it this way - they were made for seventy (70) years and bought
by the hundreds of thousands. They had to be using quality glass. Regards, Marv Arnaud B wrote: What about the lens quality ?

There is a Cabin listed on eBay at $675, a Kinderman at $275, one at
$9.95, a Hasselblad P80 at $21.00, a Bausch & Lomb at $9.95 etc, etc, etc. You pays your money and takes your choice. Haven't seen the Kiev 66 projector listed for a while - perhaps they are no longer in production.
