xelaglen Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I am wondering if anyone has heard of a slide viewer for 6x7 slides. I'm not looking for a full-fledged projector (not yet anyway) but just some sort of contraption for viewing slides to determine which ones I want to scan. Thanks for any advice.

jim_momary Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 How about a simple light table that you would lay the slide(s) upon and view, with or without a magnification aid? Jim M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Ingold Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 How about a light table and a loupe. Mamiya makes an excellent 3x loupe for 6x7, but B&H no longer seems to carry them. I've never seen traditional viewer that could do justice to a good tranny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a._t._burke Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Magic Lantern mounts are roughly the same size as 6x7 slide mounts. I use Magic Lantern equipment to view, scan and project my 6x7 stuff and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerber_van_der_graaf Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Gepe is making a small light table with a 3x magnifier, called G5003. The lupe is very simple and not corrected for chromatic abberations, but works fine for viewing the slides. http://www.gepe.com/website/index.asp?pageID=287 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
