I just bought one in September and would recommend the projector, but only if you spend the extra money and buy the CF lens. It is about $100 more and well worth the money. The Hecktor lens that is standard, is a flat field lens and you will have a very hard time projecting your slides and have the whole image in focus without glass mounting all your slides. If they are mounted in plastic or cardboard they will bend from the heat of the projector lamp making it impossible to focus on the entire image. With the curved field lens this problem is eliminated and the images are as sharp across the entire plane as I have ever seem from a slide projector. Hope this helps.
