I'm buying a dual 8 mm projector. My expectations are:
Eumig 605,
Duo 100 and
Chinon 2000GL
Since I have enough experience for the election, I ask your opinion on these three projectors.
Thank you for your attention

I personally don't rate any of these. But if pushed I would say the Eumig is the best of this lot.

Thank you for your quick response. What I recommend projector, the projector is intended to digitize old films 8 mm and super 8 with EasyTransfert. I have an Elmo FP-C but I could synchronize the speed and the frame of the film.

I would have assumed the Elmo had a variable speed, certainly the Eumig 6series had a variety of speeds but not a variable speed control. I also think this series was not Eumig's finest hour in terms of quality of operation and projected image
The Chinon 2000GL has a variable speed but a poor lens and a flimsy gate.
I have no experience directly of the Duo but my suspicion is that this is also low end machine

I'm not sure this one crops up too often this side of The Pond but some of the US members may be familiar with the P-8

Well, keep waiting to find something suitable to my needs and possibilities. I want to make my transfers with Easy-Transfert, and my Elmo FP-C has been giving me tin with the adjustment of the projection, and in my area no one can give service.
The Canon P-8, I have given up because I read that is very complex in its mechanics.
What me recommend projector?
I thank you for your counsel
