Hi Geoff,

Actually I have a Pradovit rt-m with a 90mm Super Colorplan Pro I  
picked up two years ago. Both were new, still sealed in the box. The  
cost was not trivial. It projects fantastic images. It uses both 80  
and 140 Leica and Carousel trays which are extremely cheap now when  
you can find them. I have about 30 trays.  I don't have any super  
slides but as I recall you have a baby Rollei. Are you still making  
super slides?

Cheers,
Len
