Thanks Bill R., Tom R. and Dag for your comments on the projector lights. I have since tried them out. The fan in the Leitz projector didn't work, why I soon had to turn it off at the smell of burnt rubber... I won't be able to use that one, but neither can I make myself dispose of a lens that has "Leitz Wetzlar" engraved on it. (A Hector 85mm I think). Any suggestions on what use I can make of such a lens?
Anyway - yes I think that the remaining Agfa projector will be useful in some ways. I'll see what I can put in front of it to modify the light.
I might even pull out some of my slides and show them to someone, or even see if I can use them for a background or something. Project them onto a body?
Thanks, Lasse

I have, for black and white photos.
I used the screen as a reflector and got a smooth lighting depending on the size of the "image" on the screen. With two projectors and two screens you get some control of the light.
I didn�t get much light though.

Hi all,
As mentioned in another thread I am about to try to set up a small kind of home studio.
Cleaning the garage today I found two old slide projectors that I haven't used for many, many years (hardly at all in fact). One is a Leitz Pradovit, the other maybe an Agfa.
Has anyone found any meaningful use for slide projector lights in a studio?
(The lights are strong (the Leitz one slightly yellowish), however I have no idea what temperature (Kelvin) they are or how films or a digital sensor perceives them.)
Thanks, Lasse
