Jim,

For me the comparison was quite conclusive. The Pradovit comes with another lens as
standard (Hektor 85mm, I think). I knew from LUGgers' advice that it was worth it to
pay a little more for the Colorplan, so that is what I did. I previously used a
Kodak Carousel 4600 projector with its standard lens. The image quality of the
projected slides improved by a quantum leap. I know that sometimes the camera lens
comparisons we discuss are quite small and can perhaps only be seen when you use a
tripod, slow film etc., but in the case of the projectors, the quality of the Leica
jumped at me in normal, routine use.
