There is another, far better solution, but only viable with a 250W
projector: a lens that can be closed down. I have a set of Braun
projectors, and Braun was the first manufacturer who manufactured this
kind of projection lenses. I believe Reflecta now also has these (not
sure, but AFAIK there is another brand that carries them). The lens
has been tested in FotoMagazine, and even at full aperture it was
close to the fixed Leica and/or Zeiss lenses. Closing down two stops,
it was even a tad better I believe.
I believe the Braun lens system is compatible with others, but I am
not sure whether that holds for Leica. There is a system difference
between the the Leica pro-model projector and the budget line, right?
