I've wanted one for years. Kindermann also made 6x6 projectors and there were some smaller companies like CF in Cologne, Germany that were in the business in the 70ties and 80ties.
Kiev in the Ukraine may still make one, but I see it rarely listed. Also Pentacon made one, which is equally hard to find. May be JDM has run into that one before? If you look on the big auction site for "Hasselblad PCP", you can find a few listings for sure any time. If you look at the price for these, you know why. MF slide projection is fantastic, you can buy Rollei P11 dual format: 35mm and 6 x 6 and Rollei P66 quite cheap today.
Find it with at least the Heidosmat f2. You will be surprised by the "ooohh, aaaahhhh" of your audience. While the Hasselblad projector would clearly be the most desirable, I have an ancient TDC projector that is totally manual for advance, etc.
AJG , Jun 6, I had them both. The Bausch is still here with me but it jams. Medium format projectors are a bit thin on the ground, but they do turn up occasionally on the second hand market.
A projected slide will beat a print hands down in my opinion. As for the stupid comment about being forced to view slides in a blacked out room, well no one is forcing you, are they? I project my glass mounted slides using the Hasselblad projector. It's the end result I have in mind when shooting medium format. I've had high resolutions scans made for producing large prints which I have on my walls. But nothing compares to the projected image from the Hasselblad projector.
Some may say I'm old school, but I just grin with contentment when I view the projected images on the big screen. I don't know if the Hasselblad brand projector is a requirement. But I wouldn't project a 6x6 slide without using a glass mount. I moved to LF years ago and don't shoot MF anymore, but occasionally I view my 6x6 slides projected against a white wall, using a Rolleivision 66 projector and an incredibly sharp Schneider AV-Xenotar 2.
There's an almost three dimensional effect - no other viewing method gives me the feeling of "being there again". For protection or flatness? Rolleivision 66 projector and an incredibly sharp Schneider AV-Xenotar 2.
Projected 6X7 transparencies are a sight to behold! Anyone have a clue? It looks to be of late 's or early 's design. Tom, the Linhof is a modified Prado Universal, arguably one of the best medium format slide projectors ever made, and in some respects even better than the Hasselblad PCP I've had no luck finding out the dates of manufacture even after contacting Leitz.
I think this projector was probably manufactured from the late 's through to the late 's. There appears to be very little information on the internet about this optical and mechanical gem. I have never projected 6x6 slides. I did at one time mark the groundglass with 4x4 crop marks and cut the slides to fit 4x4 superslide mounts that fit a normal Pradovit projector. They were really impressive, filling the whole screen instead of being either portrait or landscape, so I can understand the desire to project 6x6.
It does get a bit expensive though, not only finding the projector, having a big screen and big enough dark room otherwise the effect is largely lost , and the mounts are not cheap either. Ilkka, regarding the cost of glass mount: yes they are quite expensive but you discover that with MF you take less picture and you choose to project only the very best ones.
And the slide can be disassembled and the glass mount reused. The projector today are not expensive, on the contrary, you can buy one second hand for less than you pay for a PC monitor, and the screen is also cheap. I think it is very fiddly to have a set of some 20 or 50 mounts and then circulate them between slides one wants to show. It is prudent to mention the cost implications to a self-confessed beginner who is considering to get into medium format projecting.
Obviously one shoots less on medium format film than on 35mm film, let alone digital. I have been shooting medium format for some thirty years now, just as long as 35mm film. I doubt there is a cheap medium format projector available in most places in the world at any given time. Sure, one might make occasional special finds, and lucky for one to do so, but there have only been a few manufacturers of medium format projectors and volumes have been small.
You can reuse the mounts at will hence this will not have the highest financial impact on MF slide projection if you reuse.
Hope this helps, let us know if you have further questions! Sanjay, One of the reasons I choose the 6x6 format was my intention to project my transparencies. I used and still own a Kinderman 66 projector. It is completely manual, but does the job well. I always mounted my slides using Geep Glass Mounts. I'm going to make an assumption that the OP doesn't already have a 67 camera or 67 slides he wants to project, and is exploring a potential camera choice in the context that he would want to choose a format where he knows he can see the slides to good advantage.
I shot MF slides 6x6 and 67 for ten years at the rate of about slides a year, so here's some points of view based on that. You can buy projectors for 67 or 6x6. Both will be scarce and expensive. They are both likely to be well used and depending on where you are, not too easy to get fixed if there's a problem because you can't exactly pop these projectors in the post.
Both the Hasselblad 6x6 and the Cabin will make your slides look wonderful if they're in mounts the projector likes. Naturally magazine-loading projectors are a more convenient to use. Though projectors will be expensive this is as nothing compared to the price of the mounts.
I'm not sure you can get card slide mounts today- or at least the pre-glued ones. The Gepe glassless mounts don't hold 6x6 slides solidly or flat in my view so I'm suggesting that 67 will be the same or worse. If you're going to project you need to be thinking about glass slides. If you use a lot of these you'd better prepare yourself for high costs , heavy weight and a lot of bulk. Unless you're very rich, or intend to take just a few MF slides, you're going to need to think up a strategy to keep costs, weight and bulk down.
Do you intend to project everything you take? Do you intend to mount slides only when you decide to project them , keeping slides unmounted in archival sleeves. Its not a convenient strategy - it will take you hours to put together a slide presentation- but at least it means you only have to buy mounts.
If you do intend to just take a few MF slides, you might want to think about whether the fixed costs involved camera etc, projector are worthwhile to get you a few pictures. If you're going to take lots then you have to consider whether you want to afford those fixed costs and the variable costs of film, processing, mounting according to your selected strategy , archival sheets and albums to store both mounted and unmounted slides, and so on.
It was easier when I did it. Film, processing, mounts were all much cheaper than now. And you could buy much cheaper card mounts that worked ok in the Cabins though not so well with the Hasselblad 6x6 because they were slimmer and lighter than the Gepe mounts.
You might want to think now where you're going to keep all this stuff. Add a projector and a MF camera system and a Lightbox and you need a bit of space.
For looking at slides on my own, I found that a light-table and a good loupe was cheaper, easier, and more convenient.
And you can see the slides well enough to assess them for print potential etc. If you get to be good at MF photography using slide film projecting your work will give huge satisfaction. But its not something that comes along cost or effort-free. Best that you make a start understanding where the path leads. Not sure it exists in 6x7 projector optics, but Leitz 35 mm projectors could be fitted with flat field or curved field optics, one for glass mounted slides, the other for the more prevalent cardboard mounts.
As mentioned, the Gepe 6 x 7 slide mounts are available glass or glassless. If I were you I would trust my own judgement and try both to see what the trade-off really is with the projector lens you may acquire. In some cases and conditions a weak link can be the resolution fall-off with distance from centre of the particular wide angle camera lens.
There are also different qualities in projector optics. I do agree that 6 x 7 projection quality can be very impressive. I shoot MF 6x7 in very small amounts. I never have projected them.
So I'm sure that I've missed something. You may find this option better for you in the long run. Good luck on whatever you decide. AlanKlein , Apr 18, MF slide projection requires a lot of time and money.
I bought it off ePrey a couple years ago and have never used it, other than to discover that it needed the CLA. If you'd like it for whatever I have in it I have to check records at home , write to me offline. It's built like a tank, looks like an aircraft carrier, and comes in its own carrying case, manual and good lens all s vintage. Cheers, Ray Hull. Consider a Liesegang Fantax A. Have one to sell?
