Rollei Table Projector

[Grim Tuesday]

While browsing camera things I found a "rolleinar .75 filter" which makes no sense in the regular sense of a rolleinar. Turns out it goes to this odd, but cool rollei accessory device. 6x6 projectors are pretty hard to come by these days. Has anyone tried doing a DIY version of this?

I like it. Very clever. I'd be curious to see one in real life.

Interesting! I am into projectors, but I have not even heard of his device before...

Makes me wonder if i could build a lamp box to mount on the graflok back of a crown/speed to project 4x5?

Depends on the way you mount the slide. Also keep mind that projection lenses in general are at the fast side, compared to LF taking lenses.

I saw that in Rollei literature I collected in the 1980s, but I'll admit I only heard of the USA made Graphlarger a few years ago.

Turning a camera into an enlarger was not new for me (think of Linhof). And of course the principle behind screen projection and enlarging is the same.
