Are Noris 6x6 projectors any good?

1kgcoffee · Jan 26, 2019

I'm currently looking at medium format projectors. Something like the Hasselblad PCP 80 is out of reach for me. Would rather spend it on film. At the same time, I want a projector that produces minimal heat so that the slides last, bright, and I want to project 6x6 as large as possible with good fidelity.

There is a Noris 6x6 with a Noristar 3.5/150 on the bay for a decent price. Nice old fashioned design. Is this a good combination? What would you recommend?

Is it the 220v one with no power cord and no slide carrier? If so, where are you going to get the carrier? Search eBay for a Rollei P66 or P11, preferably with the Vario Heidosmat 110-160 lens.

A well known manufacturer. But I did not come across this model yet.
It seems similar to the Prado series. The two switches indicate that it got a ventilator.
The lamp would be running on the mains. Which means that for the lamp you could go for the cheap adaptation by changing just the lamp and running it (for short time on the net). But what about the ventilator? The better way thus would be an apt(!) transformer.
I do not know what design the lens is, but likely a plain or modified triplet.

Thanks for the responses.
Outwest,
This one here. Appears to have a power cord and holder, but missing the bulb. I will see what the Rolleis are about however.

Agx, I should call you detective. Yes that 220v may be a slight problem...

I did not see that offer. Well, I am surprised about the 25V lamp, as the design is that typical for an older, mains driven lamp. Though I already stumbled over that mains connector, which is too modern, but rather from the time small, halogen lamps emerged.
Yes, I stand corrected, this is already a halogen lamp version (in old style casing).
But the mains voltage issue remains.
