Dave - With color slide film the most important consideration is the light used to illuminate the prints. If you are using tungsten light, you will get a yellow cast to the slide. If you want to exactly reproduce the color of your print, you have to use lighting to match the film. Tungsten film, usually with a T in the name can be used with tungsten lights. For normal slide film, you will need to use an adjusted light - usually blue. There are so many variations in lights and films you just have to experiment and decide what you like. What I am using currently is Fuji-64T Type II, Tungsten film with a Beseler copy stand and tungsten lights. Hope this helps.
