Subject: 120/2.5 Hektor vs Colorplan

Hi Al -

I have an old Prado P500 with the 90, 100 & 120 projection lenses.
I only use it for slide editing & had it for sale in the LHSA catalog
with no takers.  I am not really super critical & find the lenses quite
satisfactory but in your opinion ---are the newer colorplan or what-
ever, that much better?  Improved I can understand, but are they
really noticeably better.  Incidentally I have never had a bit of
trouble with this projector in all the decades that I have had it.
One thing though, I had to change the bulb to 300watts as the 500
threw off so much heat that it would warm up our living room.
