I have an Ektagraphic that takes the standard Kodak rack and pinion lenses.
One of the best inexpensive alternatives to the sometimes mediocre Kodak
lenses are the Schneider Kreuznach Prolux made for the Kodak Carousel (and
Ektagraphic) projectors. Be aware there are some really expensive
Schneider's around too. I got a Vario-Prolux MC 70-120mm f/2.8 zoom from
B&H in NYC for about the same price as the Kodak f/3.5 zoom of about the
same focal lengths and have been *very* happy with it with a quite
*noticeable* improvement in image quality on a 50" white matte screen.
Price was *under* $140 USD. It has a plastic body also, but its molding
quality, fit and finish were considerably better than the equivalent Kodak
. . . just as the performance was.
