Well, I have the Hektor, the Colorplan-CF, and the Super-Colorplan (doesn't
everyone need three lenses for one projector?).  There IS a difference
between the Colorplan and the Super-Colorplan, and the latter is every bit
as good as its reputation.  It is clearly worth the extra investment in
terms of sharpness and edge performance.  Not that the Colorplan is not an
excellent lens, but the Super is better!
