Does anyone know if the Leica "pro" lenses (e.g. Colorplan 90/2.5 Pro for RT projectors) fit the Kodak Carousel/Medalist projectors? I'd appreciate comments from anyone who's actually tried this out.

Thanks!

They do not fit directly. However there are two easy ways around this. 1) There is (was) an adapter Leitz used to fit the lenses to the Pradolux RT300 rebadged Singer projector. 2)Used Kodak projector lenses are very cheap, so you knock the glass out of it and slip the Leica lens inside wrapped with tape to fit.

Neither of the methods listed above works. The lens still does not focus in the Kodak type projectors. Keep it in the Leitz/Singer type projectors.
