The idea at first sounded pretty good to me. Three things, however, seem to speak against it: 1. No other projection lenses or equipment are sold together with the cameras or camera lenses in the particular catalogue. 2. The speed of the lens is still wrong. Only Leitz projection lenses 200 mm or longer seem to be 4.0 or slower. 3. The $100 price would indeed, as John Collier points out, be very high. I do not think it applies to the lens alone. In a 1958 cataloge the projector and lens sell for around $100. The lens alone is only a fourth or fifth of that price. I am grateful for all the input, but I do not think the right solution has been found yet, if there is one...
