Transparencies

Transparency projection lenses include those designed for diascopes and slide projectors of various film formats. All slide projector lenses longer than 50mm cover 36x24mm sensors and allow tilt and shift movements on smaller formats (Micro Four/Thirds and APS-C). Some lenses as wide as 26mm also cover full-frame, but many shorter lenses were intended for projection of smaller-format transparencies and have correpondingly smaller image circles.

Lenses for medium format projectors tend to cover medium format sensors, often with sufficient room for tilt/shift movements. In all cases, see invididual listings for details.
