I take them only for me and my family. This means that mostly we view them by projection. However, before I retired I had my office full of color prints I had made from my slides over the years. After retirement (and to an extent before) there is a limit as to how many 11 x 14 and 16 x 20 prints you can hang. I use Leica Pradovit P2002 with both the Colorplan 90 CF and SuperColorplan 90 FF lenses with a 60 x 60 (sometimes a 70 x 70) matt screen. This is very satisfactory. The only problem I have is the curved slides in the cardboard mounts - usually Kodachrome. E6 is flatter in plastic mounts. I have some 10,000 slides from about 1942 (gave about 2500 to the kids). Used to have Hasselblad 2 1/4 projector - wow! Trouble here was glass mounting - cost about a buck or so a slide. Dick Hemingway Norman,. OK Richard Hemingway Norman, OK
