A quick comment,
Current Leica projectors (P150, 2002) use "LKM" slide trays that
hold 80 slides each. They also preclude the slides from falling
out by a rather ingenious locking tab. They don't fall out!

All right, I'll bite (especially since I'm not a proud Prodovit owner).
Although construction of Leica projectors is top rate, why would anyone
want a system that uses those flaky European trays? I had a Zeiss projector
once, and one tipped tray with slides all over the floor forever convinced
me. I believe that the maximum in one tray is 40 slides, and you had better
hold it within a few degrees of vertical or be ready to play 40-pickup.
Kodak goofed with the 140 Carousel - Honeywell had it right years ago with
a max of 120 slides - but the 80 tray works great, and the stack loader
servers well, too. It's too bad Leitz discontinued the RT300 Carousel
compatible projector. I use a pair of Pro-Tamron f2.8 70-125mm lens on my
Kodaks with dissolve unit - they are very bright and sharp, putting Kodak's
zoom lenses to shame, and looked just as sharp, even brighter, than the
Leitz lens on my friend's RT300.
So someone out there tell me - is a Leitz projector really worth the hassle
of those trays?
Actually, I do admit to owning a Leica projector - an old VIII-S with
Hektor 8.5cm f2.5 lens. It is an unusual model with a large fan base (not
water cooled) that the projector sits on. The serial number is A192 (any
collector comments?) Slide trays are definitely not an issue!
