Leica P 150 Slide Projector ... Good Projector?

[BySumbergsStache]

I'm looking to purchase a slide projector for my slide film. Is the Lecia P 150 a good option? I'd like one of reasonably good quality, better than the standard Kodak Carousel.



The Leica RC is another ebay option

I've had an RC since 1973--Glorious! The P 150 is smaller & newer, but still Leitz.

Both projectors are standard in design for their very periods. No frills.
The P 150 has added the autofocus feature and it takes two further kinds of slide trays.

What counts is the lens you get with them.

The standard lens for the P 150 is the Hektor P2 1:2.8 85mm

I don't think if it would be worth springing the $150 for the Leitz RT 300 here. http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEITZ-PRADO...976554?hash=item3d1cf7562a:g:0CwAAOSwnNBXW4V~

I would just use the projector to find out if I want something better.

Cardboard mounted slides?
The Leica lens beats the Kodaks but there are higher quality lenses available for it.
Durability and reliability? There were tens of thousands used in schools & businesses
throughout the world.
Ektagraphics were the "pro" version.
