Sorry for the confusion. Yes it is simply slide film. I tend to speak of it as transparency film when it is in sizes larger than 35mm--120, 4x5 etc. The 120 is sleeved uncut and the 4x5 is in a glassine envelope. Howard R Duarte wrote: sorry if this is a stupid question, but what do you do with

A friend showed me a gadget which might work as a variable size pinhole. It is a surplus iris and tiny stepper motor assembly, I assume from some kind of camera. There are three iris blades which can close completely, or open to about 1/4 inch. When very small, the hole is triangular. The
