The Colorplan Pro is also big in price, I use a Pradovit CA 1500 with the
"normal" Colorplan which costed a third or less of the Pro version, I don't
know, if the standard version is still available (the projector is one of
those Pradovits with the very short dark period between the slides, a lot
of tinking was necessary for me to get it working with this second hand
projector I use, but now it's very nice. I don't think, that Leica still
delivers projectors with the short dark period technique).
Between a convex as usual and a concave front element, there are sometimes
plan front elements like that of the Pentax FA 28-70mm 1:4. Maybe it has to
do with the aspherical (hybrid) rear side of this lens ?
