Projector for 120 slides.

[vegard_norway]

Hi all.

As my first medium format camera is on its way to me, I am looking for a projector that will take these slides.
The projector I got only takes 135 slides.
I will shoot must slides, so I will need a projector to show them. Any tip on what projector to go for?
Oh yes, I will like a old one, but auto focus is great to have.

for example Rollei P66 or Rollei P66E - you have to monitor ebay. I recommend those mounts Gepe 6x6 Anti-Newton Glass Mounts , Gepe 6x4.5cm (3mm Thick) Medium Format Single-Sided Anti-Newton Glass Mounts

Hasselblad PCP80 is another one

Which medium format camera? If you're shooting 6x7, none of the above 6x6 slide projectors will work for you and you'll need something that takes 85mm mounts.

Hello.

Sorry, I forgot the information on what camera I am using.
It is a Rolleicord.
But, I will also need slides mount and a projector for 6x7.

I have a Mamiya Pro-Cabin 67. You don't see them around much. They are built like a tank

Make sure that bulbs are still available as well as trays or in case of manual "slide holder/frame". It is hard to find those later. Also check lens , some may require quite long distance between projector and the screen. Not a problem if you have a large room.

When you find one, as was mentioned, research the bulb. Some of the older bulbs may no longer be available, or at very high prices. I remember seeing discussions about converting an old Rollie projector to use a different bulb, because of that reason, the bulb could not be found.

Lots easier to find a 6x6 projector, but manual 6x7 projectors are out there. Be patient is the key, watch eBay or the local internet classifieds (similar to Craig's List). It took me over a year to get my 6x6 projector.

Hello and thanks for the good information.
Oh yes, bulbs have to be around. If I find a projector, maybe a idea to stock up some bulbs, just to be on the safe side....Or, as some say, go for a new projector.
