Recently picked one of these up on ebay for a steal. But I have a few questions.

My understanding is that it is the first version of the P66, Like the A, but designed for the 120V American outlets. It has a remote.

1. Is it true that this has only a 150W halogen bulb vs the 250W or the P66S. Is that sufficient or worth an upgrade? To what bulb?
2. It doesn't have dissolve, but did these come with a dimming function?
3. How is the Heidosmat 150/3.5. Is it worth the eventual upgrade to to the Heidosmat 150/2.8 or AV-Xenotar at some point?
4. This takes the Rollei 77 magazine?
5. What sort of projector screen is recommended?
