Thanks for the info on the little one... I'm thinking trying to get a
bulb that is' nt too hot that fit might be a solution...
LOL re scan all my slides quickly... I have over 400,000. Not that I
was going to examine each one... maybe30,000 could be dups.
Of course I have boxes that represent already pruned stuff - not to
mention Animals Animals rejects.
The non-keepers from a quality point of view still can have information
on them and without them I might not
know where something was taken. I have books of notes too.
I'm not going to be around forever - have started thinking about where
these should end up... The black and white negs
are much more manageable - all in loose leaf binders, numbered, dated -
and only about 800 rolls of tri-x.
Color negs? maybe only about 400 to 500 rolls.

There are darn few slide projectors available new in the world today. Most get
hot fast because they're designed to project across a room to an audience of 5
to several dozen people. Even the digital ones (take digital input in, output
projected image) get hot…
I remember also there used to be back-projection slide viewers that would enlarge a
slide to about a 5x7" image for viewing. Haven't seen one of those new in
thirty years or more… Oops, spoke too fast. Dot line sells one of those still, Sears
has it:

Probably the best thing to do is just scan all your slides quickly, for review,
and then look at them large on your computer screen. Then go back and re-scan
at full resolution all the keepers for further processing/printing. Use a DSLR
copy setup to do that or a slide scanner … whatever is faster.
This is what I do nowadays rather than hunching over a lightbox with a magnifier for
hours. I mostly use a film scanner; my big one will take 12 at a time and I can have it
do a "review quality scan" in about 5 minutes per 12 slides.

MOre and more difficult to look at slides on a light box.. I've got and old
Kodak Carousel and one of those
feeders that you jsut stack 40 slides in and use it as a substitute for the
carousel... but the old projector gets
mighty hot really fast
Bottom line - what do you guys know about "energy star" savvy projectors - I'd
like to get more into reviewing
my slidesand getting what I consider the better ones scanned. NO problem here
scanning them - but it
would be good to project them for review .
A really cool thing to have would be something that you could feed the slides
into and it would come out on your
Tv screen or a monitor for review. Does such a thing exist?
