Summary: Average entry level projector
Review: When my Kodak slide carusel projector broke I was kind of putting off the purchase of the new. Until my friend decided to give me one for Xmas. What she got me was Leica P150. I can't say that I'm thrilled with this model but also it gets the job done so I have no reasons to complain (much). So here are the pros and cons:PROS:
-Optically this projector is outstanding, but I would expect nothing less from Leica optics.
-Wired remote is also good. You can retouch the focus from the remote and forward to the next slide. Also remote stores into the body which saves a lot of space.
-Compact design allows for easy storage
-Easy loading for single slides if you don't want to use trays.
-Small reading light or preview window makes life so much easier. CONS:
-Tray capacity. No matter that I was able to purchase 50 slide extended trays, that's still no match for Kodaks 80 or 140 trays.
-If projector is tilted and slide is not aligned right it will not load for viewing. In this case tray capacity is what really turns me off. For regular home viewing it may matter very little for some but for me it's a big drawback. I show 300 slides during night and with Kodak I was able to pack just 2 or 3 trays, with Leica it's 6. It's a good product but I think Leica's target customer was a guy who shoots one roll every few months. But projector works and is built well.
