I wouldn't count on it. If slide sales keep diving, and demand drops further, and Leica/Hermes continues to have the expected business profit pressures, the slide projectors won't stand a chance. We now live in an era where many people consider a laptop projector to be more than adequate. The march to lower quality drags onward! The sound you heard was Walther Benser turning over in his grave.

I think that the popular video camera is responsible for that change. Our local camera club still holds slide competitions and it's a major part of their activities. I still shoot slides. I assume that Leica will continue to produce slide projectors. br - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
