6X9-4X5 projectors?
steven T koontz
Shot a couple of rolls of 120 slide film on 6X9 and it looks
REAL cool on the light box. I have to think that if quality
of projection would be improved over 35mm slides, like the
print quality is, I would love to see it projected. Did/does
anyone make a med-large format projector? I know they make
6X6 but I shoot mostly 6X9, some 4X5 and don't care to
project square slides. Could one be made? I don't want to
spend too many $$$ but just wondering....thanx

I remember that in the (german) 1996 Linhof price list, a 4x5 slide
projector was listed. It was not made by Linhof but by the
(American-German) company Noble, who make the NOBLEX panoramic cameras
with roating lens for 120 and 35mm film. I think it was called Noblux
(not 100% sure about that), price range was 2000$-3000$.

Noble (Germany) makes a single-slide 4x5" projector, for images taken
with their Noblex 5x12 panoramic cameras.
Having very few moving parts, it isn't even that expensive....less than
US$2000 I recall.
The next smaller projectors are 6x7, although some old 6x8 units seem to
float around in the US.
I have a list of MF projectors on my homepage:

I just checked my 1995 Linhof price list, it shows DM 3790, plus VAT, so
only a bit more than US$2000.

Greetings;
Here is some helpful info also posted on my bronica classic camera site
(at http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/bronica.html) on the netwisdom pages
(at http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/bronnotes.html)
Buhl Optical Co. Type #AP-4 or equivalent Large Format Slide Projector.
Originally built for
military applications.
Designed to take slides up to 3-1/4 x 4 inches... 12-1/2" focal length
lens, Projection lamp is 115v
AC, 750 watts, 60 hz. Cooling fan. Manual two way slide changer. Heavy
duty construction with
excellent bellows focusing system.
Dimensions: 6-1/2" wide x 10 high x 24 deep. Weight 40 pounds including
case. Supplied with case
and spare lamp.
Stock # OL92512 - Price $150.00 USD
Other users report finding these for less collecting dust in military
surplus sites, getting them for $50 etc. - some art student dual use
projectors for opaque/film projection are also available, but too dim
suspect it would be a lot cheaper and more fun to build an enlarger based
projector for 4x5, but haven't seen such a project described - anybody
have details?
I am also looking for 6x6 projectors, currently a $180 dual 6x6 and 35mm
model from Ukraine (Kiev folks) is lowest cost unit, but sears and others
made dual use projectors years ago I would prefer to locate/buy. The
current crop of 6x6 big name projectors are way out of my student budget
range.
in any case, these low end 6x9 and 6x6 projectors may help some fellow
'chrome lovers see their work up big and personal ;-)
regards to all - bob monaghan

You might be a little disappointed by the results of projecting LF
transparencies. It seems that 35mm transparency film is developed to gamma 1.5
to compensate for the apparent decrease in contrast when they are projected in
a dark surround situation. Otherwise they would look a little flat. LF
transparencies are developed to gamma 1.25 so their contrast looks about right
when viewed on a light box, but would be a bit flat appearing projected. YMMV
