Ross,

As is the case in the taking of pictures, the lens plays a crucial role in
the projection of the resulting slides. A Leica projector with a Super
Colorplan lens will give you a new level of quality compared to the Kodak
projector you are using now. I made the same switch last year.

I bought the Pradovit 600, but I think that the 2002 Pascal recommended is
more sturdy. The 300 is OK too, but the 150 may be too flimsy.
