dermot_conlan4 Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Any users of this projector out there? Need to know wheather I can project 645 and 66 with this unit , can I mix them in the same tray ? I 'm not sure if the 66 mounts just have 66 and 645 openings. I'm renting the unit for a presentation and the rental guys don't seem to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donald_hutton Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Dermot I use Gepe 6X6 anti newton glass mounts - they are exactly the same dimensions as the same brand 645 mounts - which are simply masked with a metal mask for 645. So in short, yes, the PCP80 will work fine for both and because the slide external dimensions are the same, you can mix them up too (although I would suggest you don't). Visually, try to get a big square screen for 6X6 slides - and fill the screen with the image - it is very impressive for anyone who has ony seen rectangular slides....

dick roadnight cotswolds Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Dermot: Where are you? Where did you hire the projector? What is the rate for hireing - I am interested, as I have three of them , with nine lenses - each Focal length for each projector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dermot_conlan4 Posted October 2, 2003 Author Share Posted October 2, 2003 Thanks Don I had planned on the Gepe anti-newtons, I have lot more 645's than 66's so I don't have much of a choice but maybe to group them 66 first and 645's second or vice versa. I'm 100% MF so I feel it's a waste of time and money to get 35mm dupes and kinda of defeats the purpose of hauling the gear around Dick wow three of these beasts, I'm renting it on the 17th so I don'r get to play with it much but it's for a class and not a sales presentation. I'm in the USA just south of Boston, pity you're in Blighty!! How do you find them...what do you use them for, AV or commercial presentations?

dick roadnight cotswolds Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I bought the 3 PCP 80s for AV and lecture tours: I have not really used them yet, and I am yet to buy the Stumpfel control box. I have an old Rollie 66 projector, but is is unreliable. How much could I charge for three PCP 80 per day or week hire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dermot_conlan4 Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 I'm renting one PCP for the rate of $35 USD per day and as most rental houses here charge a three day rate for the week you're looking at $105 minimum for each unit.

dick roadnight cotswolds Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Dermot - thanks for the information. I would not hire out my PCP80s for £20 a day: the 250mm lenses are very hard to replace: what lenses do you get with the projector you are hiring?

dermot_conlan4 Posted October 3, 2003 Author Share Posted October 3, 2003 Dick, I think it's the 150mm f3.5 lens and hey it'a a rental house they rent all sorts of expensive items. Anything happens they have your credit card number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
