Photo Forum / Film Photography / Medium format / November 20046x6 Slide Mounts...
I got my first MF Slide Roll Developed... It turned out great... Though, the lab didnot mount the slides... Therefore, I started hunting for some 6x6 Slide Mounts... To my surprise, it seems they are no longer available (atleast in India) ... [I dont know how profressionals arange them ?!...] Is that the case elsewhere as well !?... Do you know of a reasonable mail service (bulk of course)... [Better still if someone knew an AUS provider; though others are ok as well] Regards Paresh Pandit <Mumbai, IN> <e[Mail]: ppphoto[at]mail[dot]webindia123[dot]com> "_ _ _ Smart Quote Here _ _ _" ................ > I got my first MF Slide Roll Developed... > It turned out great... > Though, the lab didnot mount the slides... Are you going to project them ? If not what is your need to have them mounted ? I leave all my 120/220 slides and negs into PrintFile or ClearFile sheets, cut in strips of 3 frames, IHMO a good archival method and a faster way to review them on a light table + loupe.

And look at a MF (and even better a LF) slide on the light table is a pleasure itself. I don't like negs.

I'm sure it is. If you peer closely 35mm is when you hold them upto the light so 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 must be better. Mind you I do not have the means of printing colour or slides. Not I suppose that that should stop me getting someone else to print the odd one for me. Pete I just found some slide mounts at www.jessops.com Garry If you're going to project them, then it will be necessary to mount them. However, if you're not planning on projecting them I suggest either... 1. Keeping them in the sleeves so that you have easy access to them for later use/scanning, etc. or 2. get transparency/slide mats, which can be nice for presentation. You can get the mats at: www.LightImpressionsDirect.com Light Impressions also have plastic sleeves which they sell to cover the matted slides. One side of the sleeve is clear, and the other is slightly frosted (but still allowing light to pass through) so that the viewer knows which side they're supposed to be looking at. >I got my first MF Slide Roll Developed... >It turned out great...

Hmn.. Ya.. I am thinking as to what to acquire first... a) Light Table + 6x6 Loupe OR b) MF Projector I hear MF Projectors are dirt cheap these days... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 25 Nov 2004 23:32:35 +0000, Peter Chant <pete@phoenix.fire> wrote: >Dare I ask, what do you do with 6x6 slides if you don't project them? hehe... dead right... When I got the roll I didnot think I would want to project the 6x6's... But after i got it developed, and looked at the slides from my 50mm Carl Ziess, I think now I HAVE to project these... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 25 Nov 2004 00:07:32 -0000, "garry parker" <nospam@nospam.com> wrote: >I just found some slide mounts at www.jessops.com > >Garry Couldn't find those... :-( ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On Thu, 25 Nov 2004 15:08:44 -0800, Gary G <see.signature@bottom> wrote: >I have several hundred Bair 6x6 mounts that I will not be using.

No. There are several manufactures making 6x6 (and 6x4.5) slide mounts, both without glass and with glass (also antinewton glass). From my experience I would recommend GEPE slide mounts. They don't need any accessory to hold the slide centered (they have an inner metal frame with tabs under which the slide is held) and are available in all mentioned varieties. Winfried |
