However, I kept the 90/2.8 colorpan lens and the sleeve it was used in with the RT-300. It fits the Ektagraphic perfectly. I also gave my daughter the Golden Navitar 90 lens that I had. The colorpan was better. The III is a great projector, however, I gave it to my daughter later and took the RT-300 back. I then bought a Leica P2002 Pradovit which I love, expecially with the SuperColorpan lens. I sold the 300 to a Lugger. I miss the ability to stack load the slides, however, in the apartment here the straight trays that the P2002 uses, take up much less storage space. My 2 cents, Dick Hemingway Plano, TX
