If Pat in other thread asking about left handed projector (so we can have 2 projector sitting side by side nicely), I was dreaming there was a double player projector, which is similar to double tape deck player [Big Grin]

...and more over it comes with one lens only.

So it is not only sitting side by side but has the exact same lens. Therefore when reel changeover there is no any movement or focus problem on the picture.

(you might be talking about the film path. It is 2 different path of course. And about the projection, it can be dealt with a mirror or prism to bring the light output into one lens).

Anyone think or dream this idea?

cheers,

Winbert,

If only Rollei had thought of it for Super-8 [Smile]

A classy machine.
