I used a pair of them at last year's Leica Seminar and they worked flawlessly with a brilliance of image like I've never experienced before. They really project a Leica image the way it should be shown. Brilliant! If a Leica camera makes us look good as photographers' the projector make our "great leica images" look absolutely brilliant! :-) I realize the mage on the screen has something to do with the Leica taking lens and projecting lens, but it's more than that, as it has something to do with the light distribution in the projector. And for a dissolve presentation they are a wonder with the built in dissolve and IR control system. Like you, I have one of the old Singer made Leica projectors and a Kodak carosel for use with a dissolve unit when we prepare slide lectures and the images from these old beaters are nothing compared to the RT-m machines. One of the features I like is when a bulb blew it automatically switched to a new bulb before the next slide came up. And when you're giving a presentation that's great as there isn't any interruption. ted
