luis_marco_de_sebastian Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hi I have just bought a rolleivision 66 (not AV version) with a AV Xenotar 90mm 3.5 HFT lens and while it delivers good results i have to set my screen too close to the projector which sometimes is a problem. So i am looking for a 150mm lens (the 120mm apogon is out of my price range) and i have taken a look at these 3: Heidosmat 2,8 / 150 S - Heidosmat 3,5 / 150 MC Xenotar HFT 2,8 / 150 I already know about the Xenotar and i think that it is the best of the 3 but would like to hear what do you think about these two Heidosmat lenses. What surprises me is that the S-Heidosmat is supposes to have better resolution than the non S version according to the rolleiclub: http://www.rolleiclub.com/rollei/projectors/index.htm but they do not list the S-heidosmat 3,5 but the S-heidosmat 2,8 Can you guys help me with this? I do not think it is the cheap and plastic made 150 3,5 that came with the p66 projector but i do not know for sure. thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luis_marco_de_sebastian Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 It seems that the S - Heidosmat 3,5 / 150 MC is offered as a cheap alternative to the costly 120mm apogon for the 66 duap P. At least that is the way it lookks in the B&H site. (it will fit my rolleivision 66 too) But what about the opptical quality of this lens compared with the 2,8 Heidosmat and the AV Xenotar?

wim_van_velzen Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Both Heidomats 150 2.8 I have are definitely better than the plastic 150 3,5 I have used. <p> The 3.5 showed quite severe colour fringing and of course they are darker as well. <p> Don't know though if there are S and non-S 3.5 heidosmats. <p> Hope this helps as a first piece of your puzzle. <p> <a href="http://www.fotografiewimvanvelzen.nl">Wim</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edward_burlew Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 I am in the market for the 90mm. I have a 3.5 150. I want to upgrade. If you are interested in selling the 90mm email me. edward12@on.aibn.com I am in Toronto Ontario Canada. I am not tring to fob the 150 off on you I am content to keep it for occasional use in larger rooms. I want the larger image of the 90 for my living room.
