Source of slide mounts.

[GRHazelton]

Since I've augmented my Pentax 645n kit with a Kindermann 2 1/4 projector, slides are in the offing! However, I've not found any E-6 processers who mount slides larger than 35mm, and 2 1/4 mounts of any sort are rare and expensive, mainly glass mounts at $1 each or more, it seems.

Googleing for something else I came across slidescribe.com, which has a wide variety of cardboard mounts, 645, 35mm, even 4x5. Imagine a 4x5 projected! Imagine a 4x5 projector!

Some come with adhesive, some without. Here is what they offer:

I've ordered some for 645 slides, we'll see how they look.

You read my mind. I have some 6x9 that I would love to see on a wall...

I ordered my 6x6 slide mounts directly from Gepe: http://www.gepe.com/website/index.asp

Cost me a bit in shipping, but I made a large order. Their plastic mounts are first class, and the ones with AN glass are exceedingly fine.

I bought a box of 6x6 fold over heat adhesive cardboard ones at a camera show last year, but have not yet made the time to use them. About 400 for $2; I could not say no.

How did the 6x4.5 mounts work for you? I used to shoot 6x4.5 b&w slides and still have the projector and a while ago looked for the mounts but came up empty handed.
