Although I believe this to be true for the "better" Leitz projectors, my
experience shows that the lower end Leitz is not that great. I've
owned a P150 for about 4 years now and I've been very disappointed with
its build quality. Within the first few times of using it, the slide
exchange mechanism broke. The little tab that selects between LKM and
regular slides cracked and fell off. No big deal, I don't use LKM slides
so a bit of glue fixed it. More recently the focusing mechanism broke.
The little plastic tab that one of the gears sits on broke off. A few
hours of work and some more glue and it's working once again. Is this
the kind of quality I expect from Leitz? Of course not. I think they
went a little too cheap when they designed the P150 (way too much plastic,
not enough metal) and are using their good name to sell what I think is a
sub standard product. I would stay away from the P150 and only look at the
P300 or P2002. I also find that the P150 has problems keeping the entire
image in focus, but I don't know if the others are any better.
