Hallo, spurred by this forum's threads, i dusted off some old prejection lenses in good shape.

I would like to have opinions on their possible artistic value. Not so bright but good manifacturers though for three of them.

1 will-wetzlar, maginon-spezial 70-120 f 3.5 zoom

2 will-wetzlar zoom-maginon 85-150 no f number assuming 3.5 given diameter of front lens

3 zeiss ikon talon f 3.0 150 MC

all such lenses well coated with a reddish treatment

4 unknown big lens, diameter 52.5 mm large frontal lens, when projecting an image on a flat surface it seems to cover 6x6, coated with a light bluish-yellowish coating

Hi !
I own some projection lens, but none from the same branch to yours. I love them all, especially the German lens. From this forum you'll see that old projection lens are mostly good. Better hurry try yours ! We are waiting for the results.
