Hopefully it will be an improvement over my Kodak at least. The difference
of 2/3 f-stop probably will be okay for where I use it mostly.

I didn't pay much attention to his claim of the value, and obviously no one
else did either. Hopefully if the projector works okay, it will be worth the
price I paid for both. Projectors on the auction site have really dropped in
price in the last year or two, much more than the OM's have.
