I found my old one of these, and had the idea of taking it to my local camera group, and comparing "proper" slide projection of a few slides with digital projection of the scanned version. Unfortunately, It doesn't work when I apply electricity. No signs of life at all. I might be able to debug it, probably with a bit of effort and expense, but it's not worth it for the projected use ( ). In the last thread on this, Brian mentioned that digi folk sometimes use the lenses. I did wonder whether the lens might be of interest to the LF folk on here. It's a Leitz Wetzlar Colorplan 90mm 1:2.5, looks uncoated to me. Dates from the 70s, probably about when it was last used, too. They seem to go for a tenner or so on the evil bay, unless tested or refurbished.
Any ideas what I can do with it? Apparently weighs 8 kg! It has to go...
