Anyway, after starting out with Leica glass on the picture taking side, too (after many years of enjoying it only in the projector) I got dissatisfied with very unwanted, very un-bokeh lack of sharpness. Slides that looked gorgeous on the light table under a 4x loupe looked awful on the big screen. Got myself a pack of Gepe LKM glass mounts (1.9 mm so they fit in LKM trays -- anybody using these?). Stunning results. I'm wondering what you people out there use for slide mounts. Glassless, single or double glass? If double glass, how long do you wait before you commit your freshly developed slides to glass? Decades ago, conventional wisdom seemed to suggest that you wait for at least to weeks to let them dry out completely; I've heard that nowadays, with much improved chemistry involved, there is no need for this awkward grace period.
