A home theatre projector might seem a side-step for Leica Camera AG, the global manufacturer of high-end cameras and lenses, fine mechanical and medical instruments and high-tech devices of the highest standards in imaging. But perhaps not so much — home entertainment has long relied on high-quality lenses, and far earlier than video projection. Many was the 1960s home where a big screen was illuminated by a stylish Leica/Leitz Pradovit slidecabled remote control which could shuttle the 35mm slides forwards and backwards.
