Which projectors are these? I know the Leica Pradovit P150 costs 1695 SKR
(approx.
US$ 197 or 368 DM) which is pretty cheap I think. So, are the P150 made by Zett?
More important: Is the quality to the negative as it is made by Zett rather than
by Leica?

What temperature are we talking about? I could not find any temperature
mentioned
in the technical part of the different Leica projectors on their web site.
Also, what kind of temperature are should the projector have not to damage a
slide
(generally speaking)?

Man, if I have to look as high as the P600 I definitely have to look for used
projectors...

At Scandinavian Photo, a Paximat Multimag 250 CI-AF costs nearly as much as a
Leica P300 (3995 SKR and 4250 SKR (approx. US$ 464 and US$ 494 or 868 DM and 924
DM)).
Novamat 515 AF is said to have "only 53 degrees Celsius" (127.4 F) as
temperature.
Is that low or not?
On the whole I find this thread *very* interesting as I just happen to look for
a
projector! Want to hear something weird? I do have a quality screen but *no*
projector... Crazy!
