Auto or manual focus, no LKM capability. HOWEVER This is a projector which brings the new slide behind (if going forward) or ahead (if reverse) of the slide being projected, and then it pushes the old slide out and the new one is positioned in the focusing stage. It is therefore the fastest slide change known to man, BUT if you have bad mounts, you will pay for that with jamming and once jammed you need repair and/or replacement of the ejector levers etc. How much can you get it for? Anything under $500 should be a bargain if you don't have a Leica projector. Everybody else, don't kid yourselves with the 300 and 600's: they are simply not in the same class. For slide temperature, and overall construction! Can't wait to see the new Carousels though!
