I don't think so. (Surprised? <G>) When you look at the old Leica RT projector, it was a singer that was adapted to Leica's needs. The big difference is in the condensers. They are much better, coated and cut the heat to a much greater degree than the original Singers. That means longer life for the slide. And more even light, more brilliant presentation. Or so Leica would have us believe. and from my experience, Leica's projectors are better. And their lenses are better than the standard issue Kodaks. But Buehl (sp?) and Navitar give them a run for the money. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch The night wind swirls; Rain taps the leaves; cameras asleep in their cases Donal Philby
