Hi Everyone. I just got my first roll of Velvia 100 processed and now, well, I'm hooked! They really look outrageous (again, like the person who began this thread, the Film, not the images so much.) I'm comparing them to the prints I got along with the processing and the slides are MUCH sharper. There was a 16 second exposure at night from my rooftop of manhattan with a boat drifting across the frame, in the print, the boat lights came out as long soft streaks, as expected, but with a loup on the light table with the actual film, the streaks are much more crisp, and you can clearly see the up and down wiggle of the lights as they bounced over the small waves of the river! That's just one example of the detail the film is holding that doesn't make it to the machine prints. Anyway:
Here's my question. What are a few decent MF slide projectors. Are real old ones on ebay for 30 dollars going to be any good, or do you need to spend 1800 dollars on a Rollei multiformat projector. Any tips or buying hints would be great.
Thank you.
