And, no, slide film is not really intended to be scanned or printed. It
does relatively poorly at both.

I would beg to differ with you on that. No film was made with the primary
purpose of being scanned. It's been the advent of powerful and affordable
digital technology that's allowed it. Great prints can/have come from
slides. Commercially there have been relatively few good outfits doing it,
but they are out there.
The vast majority of landscape/nature fine art prints, coffee table books,
calendars, etc., were shot on transparency film. Those photographers never
intended their work to be viewed as slide shows, but as prints.
Not trying to be argumentative.
