I have a new Pradovit Color II and a RolleiVision 66. Both are excellent projectors. The lens on the Leitz is a ColorPlan 2,8/90 and is sharp and bright. The picture is not as good as that from the Prado 500 I had for years. But that lens (150 mm) was extra special although I can't remember much about it now. It cost as much as the projector. I'd say you can't go far wrong with the Pradovit as long as it's in good order. Automatic projectors, when they go wrong, usually go very wrong.
