I was completely amazed by the quality of the image, I am sold! Until I can afford to get a slide projector, is there an inexpensive way of viewing slides. I have heard about a small, battery operated, personal viewer - are there any preferences? Am I correct, with slides the meter should be set to give a half stop under exposure, is this so?"" I guess you need a hand held light panel. Cabin makes some really nice light panels. I got one (CL5000P), powered by 4 AAA batteries and is of the size of about half a A4 paper. You may also find a lupe useful. Choices are many. As to slides, I do not take it as an inflexible rule that exposure must be half a stop under. Just take greater care in metering and that's all.
