The convenience of the round tray, the gravity feed, the millions of units made cannot be matched by anyone. The new Leitz projectors, based on the Carousel platform, are great but very expensive in comparison. If you want something new, buy a Kodak Ektagraphic III projector. They have perfect registration, they are available for as little as $200 used. Than add a good quality lens such as the Golden Navitar 75-125 zoom and you will have a dynamite outfit. If it has to say Leitz, have the logo painted on the side. As for a screen, paint a wall flat white and you will have a "screen" that does not undulate with every movement, does not have to be deployed or folded or stored, and will give you the best image rendition. How do I know? I have tried them all and the above is what I use now.
