The lenses are very good. I only have a problem with the clumsiness of the trays - slides spilling out - and occasional jamming if the slides aren't sitting just right. I have yet to give a slide show with two full trays without at least one jam, but maybe I'm just technologically jinxed. I love the dissolves and that's why I got it.
