I removed the AF assembly for cleaning and inspection. The assembly has two lenses. One tied to the lamp the other the photocell. I first removed the photocell for cleaning. Between the photo cell and the AF lens, there is an infrared filter. This thin mylar filter was black. it should pass visible light, so there is the red flag. I put the filter against a fluorescent lamp and not a ray of visible light came through. I decided to put it back together without the filter and wallah! AF works!!! The question is should I source a new filter? At the lamp setting I use, there is not much heat at the negative. I have measure it a t 84 degrees. Also I wonder what made the filter go opaque. I'm thinking this is the reason so many have non op AF systems.

Sounds good I’ll see if I can source a new lamp and remove the AF assembly to inspect closer. I’ll keep you posted.

Hi Joe, I have replaced the C102 and C103 caps in question with these 106BPA050M Illinois Capacitor / CDE | Mouser they are bipolar but not sure about their specs for this application. They were less than $1 each. Yes Manual focus works well. The AF lamp is ever so slightly loose. Seems like the glue is a bit soft and yellowed. It's illuminated so I'm assuming it's still ok. I think I will remove it and clean the old glue off and re install. What type of glue shall I use? The unit arrived extremely clean inside however I have thoughtfully cleaned everything more including the two AF sensors. I'm not sure were the AF lamp lens is though. Maybe I have to remove the lamp to see it? I did locate the variable resistor for the AF sensitivity. I believe it's the P103, there is a regular resistor R103 as well. The P103 is accessible through the bottom cover. I have played with that and am using it now to prevent the lens from being pushed out the front. After I replaced the caps I tried to re adjust it. With all the covers off I put a glass slide in place and adjusted the P103 just untill the lens creep stopped. After that I manually focused the slide then reached in and pushed it a bit forward. This activated the AF motor but it would not stop. When trying to push the slide the other way the AF system would not activate. So it seems like one half of the system is not working. Thanks for your help, it's greatly appreciated!

Thanks!! Here is a copy. https://steveruddyphotography.com/images/Forum_mages/Rollei-P66s_Rep.book.PDF Here is the web page were I found the service manual. Anleitungen | Rollei Diaprojektor Rolleivision

No need to snip the wires. You can either tape the sensors with black electrical tape or do as I did and turn the sensor adjuster. It’s accessible via a hole in the bottom of the projector cover. This is to fine tune the AF, but since mine can’t be fine tuned, I just have it turned to the point of non movement. I have the service manual that explains the circuit but haven’t been able to identify all the components. I’m not used to working with circuit boards so it’s going to take some time to trace the AF circuit. I was hoping to see what others had to do to fix it. I have seen numerous posts saying the lens will not stop during AF and gets pushed out but no one mentions how to fix it. Mine is doing the same. For the heck of it I replaced all the capacitors. I only know how to check resistors and checked several while changing the caps. I’ll check the few remaining and try and trace the circuit.

Yes, hoping someone in 2019 still has the knowledge to help me fix the AF system. I got excited when I saw I had a reply. :-(

I need the solution!!!

I have the same problem. I see this is an old post but hopefully I can get help. The link above is now dead. I have replaced the capacitors on the board but that wasn't the issue.

<p>OK I just watched the video. It looks like your saying that LR's monitor gamut warning feature is accurate. I wonder why they haven't made PS the same? After all I did pick my monitors profile for proofing in PS. Anyway when I did the Grainger Rainbow test in LR it passed all colors except a minuscule amount in the white area. Since you all say this chart is old and not useful I found a different one. What do you all think about these results? It's showing a lot of clipping in the color bar, see link below. I did calibrate my monitor using the monitors native color space which is supposed to be 99% of the Adobe RGB.<br> http://www.coralreefecosystems.com/forum_images/MonitorColorspace.JPG</p> <p> </p>

Thanks Guys, I'll check out your video now Andrew. You didn't mention if the video explains how to test the color space of your monitor. If not how can I do it? Thanks

<p>I just purchased a newly released Eizo CS2730 and wanted to test how much of the adobe RGB 1998 color space it can handle and I'm seeing a lot of clipping. I calibrated the monitor using Color Navigator and picked native gamut during the calibration which is supposed to be 98% of the Adobe RGB color space. Here is a photo of the image in PS with the Adobe RGB colorspace applied and proofed with my monitors profile. Why am I seeing out of gamut warnings?<br /> <img src="http://www.coralreefecosystems.com/forum_images/rainbowGamut.JPG" alt="" width="1510" height="698" /></p> <p>http://www.coralreefecosystems.com/forum_images/rainbowGamut.JPG</p>

This is what got after a new calibration last night. Read my previous post. Thanks Andrew!

<p>I don't see any reply with quote so this is to all.<br> This is what I got last night after re calibrating the monitor using ColorNavigator 6 as you can see the matching issues went away.<br> http://www.coralreefecosystems.com/forum_images/WebsiteSaturatedColor3.JPG<br> This morning after re boot the issue is back. I checked the loaded monitor profile and it's the same as the one I created last night that was working. So based on this I'm assuming it can only be something in my computer settings. But why did it work after the last calibration? I'm even pretty sure I rebooted after that and it still worked. The only thing different that I know of is the day. You can see the browser is capable of matching my LR image. I am really stumped. FWIW the first calibrations I did I used x-rite iDisplay with iProfiler. The one I did last night was a hardware calibration using ColorNavigator. My first attempt with it was with a ColorMunki spectrometer and it didn't help. Then I tried it with the iDisplay colorimeter and the fixed the issue though only temporarily.</p> <p> </p><div></div>

<p>Thanks for the info. I'm aware of color manged browsers and they all show the same saturation as my image above. Normally sRGB can show less saturation of colors since they may fall outside the color space. I have never seen sRGB images showing more saturation like mine. Left hand over saturated image is from Chrome Browser right is from LR CC. This image doesn't show any over saturation when looking at it on my ipad using Chrome or Safari. It also looks fine when viewed on my wife's Dell monitors. I looked at the V2-V4 image and it looks like Edge is the only Browser that supports V4 I have calibrated my monitor both ways and the outcome is the same.</p>

<p>I just purchased an Eizo CS2730. I calibrated it with i1 Display and iProfiler. My colors look ok when viewing my images in LR and PS. I export them as sRGB for my website and they look way saturated. It doesn't matter what browser I use they always look more saturated than viewing in LR or PS. </p> <p><img src="http://www.coralreefecosystems.com/forum_images/WebsiteSaturatedColor2.JPG" alt="" /></p>

<p>Jos,<br> Yep I was rushed and didn't read that far and went with the info on page 93 for speedlites assuming it would be the same for studio strobes. Thanks so much for pointing that out. I'm going with the 1/125 for the reshoot. Thanks again.<br> Steve</p>

<p>Well thats what it looks like but don't know why as the user manual says x-sync is up to 250 which is were I set it. It'[s about 50% closed so I guess I'll try 160 next time?</p>

<p>Camera is Canon 1V and settings were Manual ISO 400 F6.5@1/250 sec. I set up the shot using Einstei E640 strobes with pocket wizard mini TT1 fitted with AC3 controller and my digital Canon 5D MK III. After all was dialed in I set the 1V up with the same settings and transferred the transmitter to it. I just developed the film and only half of the image is exposed so I'm assuming something happened with the sync?</p>
