Just curious as to how people generally look at slides they or others have shot. Lightbox is nice, but my favorite is projection.
 
I would have picked two if possible. First light box then scanned. If it does not pass light box it is round filed. As positives and negatives seem to have different traits in scan results there is also post scan processing corrections required too.......:D

BTW: I only shoot 6x7 MF and 4x5 LF, so I do not project these sizes. When I shot 35mm I did project those....

Projection, nothing comes close. Using a good projector and glass mounts help too.
 
Another fan of projection here. In addition to the family archives (about 3/4 of which is Kodachrome/Fujichrome), I also inherited my late father's Kodak Ektagraphic Projector, a partial box of bulbs and a Smith-Victor table and screen. So, by default...
 
For those that want to vote for more than one option, I've set up another poll (there was a url link here which no longer exists). Same options, but you can vote for more than one.
