Photo Forum / Film Photography / Darkroom / May 2005Weird Slide 36X36mm format
Slightly OT but...what film/slide format was 36mm X 36mm? I found an old slide taken in the 60s and have no idea what camera it's from. Sounds like a 127 slide. Mounted in a 2X2 mount that fits a common 35 mm slide projector? The actual dimensions of a 127 frame are 40X40, but a slide mount could mask it slightly.

I found an old >>slide taken in the 60s and have no idea what camera it's from. Does it have a perforated strip running along the bottom? If it does it could be a 126 film (I think).

Yes it was more like 38X38 mm (I assumed 36mm, my bad) when measured from the inside of the slide frame, so probably 40 X 40 mm are the measurements of the original. The first thing that came to mind when I saw was "Uber-Slide" so I'm tickled that they actually called the format SuperSlide. Thx all. I remember things called "super slides"; popular in camera clubs and PSA exhibitions. They were taken with 120 format film on 120 cameras, then cut to fit into a standard slide mount. Standard in terms of outside dimensions; non-standard in that they were square. Impressive when projected; they yield a square of the long dimension of a 35 mm slide. When bigger is better, this provide a real improvement. -- Mark > >> Sounds like a 127 slide. Mounted in a 2X2 mount that fits a common > >> 35 mm slide projector?

Yup, Mamiya and other medium format makers made punches so you could cut them out of 120 film and viewfinder masks. Hasselblad even made a 16s back that masked the images in camera.

What is the coverage of the average 35mm projector like in the corners? I'm thinking that a 5' square projected image would look nice in my front room. Knocking up a 40mm square mask to drop on top of the screen of my TLR would be easy.

You seem to loose a lot of the 6x6 frame though. Signaturehttp://www.petezilla.co.uk I had a super slide adapter kit for my Rolleiflex years ago. The attraction , as far as I can tell - at least for me - was that they mounted in 2x2 just like a 35mm. That way you could use your 35mm projector. Automatic 2.25 slide projectors cost an arm and a leg. John >> the 36x36mm slide was called a "Super Slide" and it was made on 127 >> film.
