Hi Sam, Thanks for your reply. My projectors are quite old, two Eumigs (Standard 8 built like a tank, and Dual Super 8 and Standard 8) and an Elmo (Super 8 only). I don't think there is anything so sophisticated as a keystoning setting sadly.
When I copied films in the past, both the projector and camera were at slight angles.
