Projector Lenses – Part 2 – Adapting Old Petzval and Projection Lenses to Modern Cameras
As many readers asked for and looked forward to a follow-up to the Projector Lenses article—one that explains how Mark carried out the conversion and offers some hints and guidance so you can try it yourself—he kindly put together this second piece on the subject. All photos and text are by Mark; the article design and layout are by me, Martin.
So, I’ll hand it over to Mark…
Welcome back! This post seeks to introduce you to the possibilities of adapting old 16mm-film projector lenses to Evils, SLRs and even Rangefinders. The aim is using these old treasures for creative photographic expression.

Analogue Adventures – Part 36: Silbersalz35 125T Edition Vivid
Silbersalz35 125T Edition Vivid 500Silbersalz35 is mainly famous for their repacked Kodak Vision3 Cine films, but every now and then they also sell this “Edition Vivid 500 125T Vintage Cinefilm”. Rumors are this is expired Fuji Eterna 500, downrated to ISO125, but there is no way for me to verify that. What I did however, I bought two rolls of this film and here you can find some pictures from the first one.
Processing (ECN-2) and scanning was done at Silbersalz35 in Germany.
