Medium format slides projected are really amazing.

To do it on the cheap, look for a Beseler Slide King. The trick is finding one with a lens short enough to project in an ordinary room (as opposed to an auditorium)--10" or shorter. There are carriers for various formats (the largest being lantern format), but they don't all correspond to currently available mount sizes. I tried cutting a few of my own mounts for 6x7 for a lantern-sized carrier, and it worked pretty well, and 6x9 would work too. I'm currently debating whether I should order a batch of them or just buy a decent mat cutter with production stops (which I could use anyway) and do them myself.
