I shoot slide film quite a bit. E6 processing is still available, close by, so I take advantage whenever I can.
There is a pretty good room in my downstairs, complete with projection screen, two (and occasionally three) projectors with a dissolve, a Tascam 133 tied into a sound system. At one side of the room is a Abodia slide cabinet holding 1500 slides and above that, cupboards holding a fair number of slide trays c/w slides. There are a few acid free and conservation style film storage boxes containing slides as well. I got lots and lots of slides.
Up to this point in time, (meaning Jan 17/2008) I have never seen any multi $$$ digital projection system that does as well as a ratty old Kodak Ektagraphic with a well exposed Ektachrome or Kodachrome slide. Tomorrow will be different I'm sure.
There are more than a few of us photo anachronists out there who attempt to enlighten (bore the hell out of) others (victims) with archaic slide shows. |
