Slide Projector Opinions Needed

[ckiang]

Hi,

Thinking of getting one. Budget of $250 or so. Which is good?

1. Leica Pradovit 150
2. Kindermann 1500 (CP having promo now, $222 with 200 slide mounts and 20 slide sleeves free).
3. One of the Braun things.

Kodak Carousels out of reach. Rollei probably out of reach as well.

TIA.

Regards
CK

I have a Braun Novamat 150 projector. It's probably not the best but I think its well worth it for the money and I think the pictures are sharp - the Braun series all have the same lens (same optics!) throughout their range of projectors.
Of course if you can afford a Leica, go for it then....!

I'm buying the Leica 150 next month. In the China Photography Forums, the old birds mostly use Rollei 150 and Leica 150. They strongly don't encourage Kindermann. In my research, so far no one complain Braun. If you understand Chinese, I sent you the url.

Yes, I can read chinese. Send me the URL.

Not the higher end Leicas of coz. The 150 is their lowest end one, at around $250 I heard.

is it neccesary to project on a projector screen?
or juz a white wall or maybe mahjong paper will do?

There is no real need for a projector screen, just find a bare white wall that's large enough. Make sure there are no blemishes on that wall... a smooth wall is best.
