.....It is a unique medium, unsurpassed concerning brilliance, color saturation and sharpness.

Hi Michael,
yes, that's it. Nothing else is comparable to slides. It is indeed a uniqe, unsurpassed medium. I love shooting slides, too, color and BW (Agfa SCALA, Rollei Superpan 200, Rollei IR).
My friends are always very impressed when I show them slides, projected on screen or with my excellent Schneider loupes. Especially the digital photographers . Most of them only know their low-resolution computer monitors.

I will keep on shooting slides till I die.

Indeed, nothing compares to slides...I shoot a lot, both in color (Velvia 50 & 100, E100VS) and black & white (Pan-F, Foma R100, Rollei PAN 25, APX-100, TMX100, Efke CHS25...) The best process for b&w slides is dr5 in Denver, Colorado. Definitely worth the wait (about 3 weeks if you live in Europe like me) and for their quality and service, the price is not excessive.
To enjoy slides it is important, to have a good projector. My Leica P2002 is still delivering the goods... I know, I may be a bit conservative, my cameras belong to another era too (Leica III, IIIa, M2, M6, MP, Nikon FM, FM2, F2, FT2). I am just a hobbyist fooling around and having a lot of fun with photography and I cannot imagine that my photography will get any better with all dancing, all singing AF digital camera's...
Shoot, yes; project, sadly, no.

I would love to project 6x6. Haven't come across a good deal for a projector, though. (Reminder to self: haven't been looking lately; start looking again!)
Update: shoot, yes; project: yes, any day now, I just have to get me some 6x6 and 6x4.5 mounts.
Shoot and Scan mostly. I was fortunate to have inherited a 6x6 projector several years ago, WOW! there is just nothing to compare a 6X6 slide projected on a screen. it is just hard to find the time and audience to do it.
G'day all... I shoot 35mm transparencies - exclusively! For me it is the challenge to capture "THAT" picture & getting it right - first time! The application, discipline and camera craft needed to produce the finished product, for me, beats hours of digital post capture processing in order to end up with an hybrid composite image which is neither photography nor art in the purer sense... No - I'm no "fuddy duddy", I just love the truth of a great well crafted photograph!

I shoot both colour and black and white slides, and project them quite often, sometimes publicly. I use Velvia and Provia in 35mm and 6x4.5 format, but Fomapan R, which I develop myself at home, sadly isn't available as 120 film. Slide projection is the best thing you can do with film in my opinion. I recently got a Rollei P66S for peanuts, so I'm a very happy chrome maniac.
Yes i shoot on 35/120 fuji slide. Project 35 on the big screen, and pick the one to scan, this has been put forward all ready.
I use Prov/velvia. Its the only way to see them.
