John, are they colourfast in sunlight? I thought of making 'windows' with my 11x14 provia, but, I worry about fading. Maybe with UV glass...

I scan and print. That seems to be the most common way. In the past, a friend used to make enlargements of his work on Cibachrome translucent material which was then displayed backlighted. The material is still available, but the process is now too expensive.

Couldn't one use an overhead projector like they use in schools?

This question is exactly the reason why I decided for 6x7 as my main format. It is the maximum format for which slide projectors are readily available (from Goetschmann). For a while, there also was a 4x5 large format projector, the Noblux 4x5. However, I never saw one in person. I guess it was produced in very small numbers.

I have shot 35mm to Ilfochromes for 24 years, for a while from Kodachrome 200 trannies, then Velvia (since 2000, printing to 40x50cm; any bigger when framed is unwieldly and fragile to transport). Adopt an holistic approach: invest in the best quality lenses, refine and refine again your technique and knowledge of film, response and palettes, and importantly print the very best of your work to the very best media you can afford — 'chromes, and frame them for perpetuity (e.g. 9 ply Rag matt with UV glass and vac. sealing) and display them. Trannies from which the prints are obtained should be archivally sleeved or ideally, masked, and stored in a dark, dust free place. This silly business of buying huge ultra-expensive cameras and only printing postcards or A5s or worse on inkjet printers is nauseating.
And look, long after your rise to the Pearly Gates (assuming you've been a good boy!) your beautiful images should remind the world of what you achieved in your time and place, not what trends or materialistic mores driven by a consumerist society dictated at the time.

I print them to Ilfochrome like everyone else should :-p hehehe just being cheeky. seriously though i feel if your going to shoot slide and have it printed then the only process is Ilfochrome. Everything else well why bother.

Stephen, Very well put. I did my own up to 16 x 20 and they put everything else to shame.

Why are there no speaker jacks on a stereo camera?

For my 4x5 chromes, I pretty much scan them into digital format now. It's definitely possible to purchase backlit boxes that hang on your wall, but if I were to do that I would probably make my own so they looked custom and low profile and not pre-fabricated. I will from time-to-time look at my chromes on my lightbox and I enjoy looking at them.
Cheers,
Jay
