Daring sacriledge here, unless you are doing your own
pre-press analysis for 4-color litho reproduction any
diffused light source will do just fine for viewing
slides. Face it - we are mostly interested in checking
for sharpness and magnifying the tiny 35mm miniature
format images so we can see what is actually there w/o
setting up a projector & screen.
I just use one of those "under the cabinet mount" kitchen
flourescent units - straight from the store. Much cheaper
than "specialized" light boxes sold to aspiring photogs.
If part of your usage will be showing to high-end clientele,
perhaps one of the spiffy "pro-photog" portable units might
make sense. That said, I usually just bring my projector and
shoot 'em onto a wall at about 24x36inches. A nicely flat-
mounted (glued down to something stiff) piece of white foamcore
makes for a better screen than a wall, but is a bit more of a
nuisance to haul around and set up and most folks I deal with
are sufficiently impressed w/ wall projection.
