Summi Cron Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted April 11, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello JC, a VIIIm would be very nice too, but why do you think so? Let me explain, why I think, it´s a VIIIk: The original instruction was lying in the carrying case, and it´s the instruction for the VIIIk. The VIIIm has a lamphouse of three barriers, but mine has only two. The VIIIm has a bigger water-cooled heating filter. (But I don´t know the size of the two different filters) The VIIIm ha a 750 Watt bulb, but mine has a resistance for 400 Watt/ 125 v in the carrying case. So, I think, it´s a VIIIk. Yours sincerly Nils Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jc_braconi Posted April 13, 2009 Share #12 Posted April 13, 2009 Hello, the only reference book about Leitz Projector I own is the one from Dennis Laney Collectors Guide; in the pages 342 & 343 he illustrated the VIIIm & VIIIk, it looks that the pictures he used illustrate well the difference in between them, specially the shape of the water cooled heat filter and the lamp of your own had, may be, be changed. Any way VIIIm or VIIIk your own is really beautiful ! congratulations! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pecole Posted April 13, 2009 Share #14 Posted April 13, 2009 OK, your VIIIs is lovely. But monster ? Then, what about my VIIIk nº29064 with its Dimax 25 cm ? In its 14 kilos wooden "carrying" case, there is even a transformer ! I call the set my "Steam Machine Projector"... Welcome, dear visitor!

Summi Cron Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share #15 Posted April 13, 2009 Hello Pecole, what a lovely monster, too. I think, it´s of about 1935 up to 37, because of the Dimax 25cm and the window shutter. Early projectors like mine (of about 1933, 34) had no window shutter and the Dimax 20cm and 25cm had been offered since 1935 or 36 for the Leitz VIIIk and VIIIm. And projectors have got a number since 1936, older projectors have no number. See in this brochue of 1934: Theres no window shutter and no Dimax, and only the VIIIi and VIIIk, but no VIIIm. http://www.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.de/images/6/62/Projektoren-Prosp-1934.pdf See on page 9 and following. best regards Nils Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
