There is absolutely NO DOUBT that anyone, sighted or not, could tell the difference between projected MF slides and 35mm slides. The image becomes part of you. You don't just look at it. My first slide projector was a 2-1/4 TDC projector (1953 - and I still have it) for Ektachrome I took with my first "real" camera, a Rolleicord. Visit the Hasselblad booth at Photokina or Photo East/West and be prepared to be blown away. It's like another world. My local Hasselblad rep has mentioned me doing a local three day Hasselblad workshop. I am in the process of producing much of the same material that I use for my Leica workshops, on 2-1/4 via Hasselblad, to be shown via a Hasselblad projector. This will really be interesting. An interesting artifact is that 2-1/4 square images completely fill the screen both ways. Looking at 35mm slides on a screen always reminds me of looking at a Cinerama movie that hasn't been re-formatted, on the TV. The human eye/brain seems to meld very well with the square format. It does not, subconsciously, seem like something is missing. It seems fulfilling.
