Of the projectors I own definitely the Bolex 18-5: silent, steady, easy to use with a great lens!

I use a relatively scarce Weimar III. Thing runs like clockwork. I only presume its rare since i've yet to see another apart from the one picture on the internet.

Like Alexander, I swear by the Bolex 18-5 - just a beautiful little machine.
