I'm beginning to realize that if I really want to know what I've wrought when shooting chromes, I need to project 'em instead of squinting at them with a loupe. So I'm looking at the Leica slide projector line. The new Carousel-style RT line certainly seem well-implemented (ex$pensive, of course) but... looking at the glossy Leica-system brochure-book thing, I don't see any curved-field lenses listed for that line. Am I missing something (they're there but I'm not recognizing them), or do Leica assume that we'll mount absolutely every slide in glass, or have curved-field lenses somehow gone out of fashion, as if Leica have decided they don't actually achieve their stated purpose? Oh, and... there's this thing for the Kodak Carousel projectors, the "stack loader", which allows you to drop in a stack of slides to view rather than having to put them all into a round tray. Is there some facility of the sort for the Leica RT projectors? Is ripping through a raw stack of chromes easier with the "classic" (Pnnn) projectors?
