Jean We discussed this actively around 1995 and you might want to check the archives. In very general terms, the later the better, though some of the 1950/1960-era Leitz MF lenses still are competitive, especially those which allowed a full-frame display at a relatively short distance. I once knew a lot about these things and owned and used a chunk of these projectors and lenses but, in the end, I fell back on a basic Leica projector for miniature-format slides and an early Kiev-66 -- the truck-farm version -- for medium-format work. If you bug me enough, I can provide more information but I worked as an Officer of Elections this past Tuesday and am still blown away -- 18 hours on my feet fair wore me out!
