This lens was designed for the old Kodak card mounts which had less strucural support for the transparency. The film "popped" so much in these that Leitz had to design a compromise lens to deal with it, but it did depend on ambient temperature as to how much the film would pop. This was due to moisture in the film, and was worse with freshly developed film. Everyone wants to see them straight away ! The new range of RT-s and RT-m projectors have a lens range called "Colorplan-Pro", "Elmarit-Pro" etc. and there is no 90 f2.5 CF. So get the P2002 with Super-Colorplan-Pro , the saving on the projector price will easily cover the extra for the lens over the standard Colorplan-Pro. John.
