jon_wason Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Have you ever seen such a thing? I got this is a box of misc. I know that Kodachrome and Technicolor are related. The is a box for holding 35mm slides. I thought it was clever to have a Loupe Built-in. Has anyone ever seen one like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Has anyone ever seen one like it? Yes. They were as common as dirt at one time. They usually had a piece of diffuser material behind the slot for the slide and went by the generic name of 'slide viewers'. I think the Technicolor brand name was most likely licensed to a Japanese or Chinese company for this slide viewer, and had little to do with the cine film technology company. Kodachrome and Technicolor linked? I don't think so. Technicolor was initially a process that did in-camera colour-splitting and recorded the two or three colour images on entirely separate rolls of film. Kodachrome, OTOH was an integral tri-pack process from the outset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMvW Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Didn't Fuji briefly make a plastic slide box with viewer? As I recall, Keppler or Schneider mentioned it in Modern Photography. I dimly remember that it was too popular and whoever made it gave up on it. I can't find my file of it, alas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Oh, it's a slide box. How many cardboard-mount slides can you fit in it? Doesn't look to hold more than a dozen. I'm guessing it was a freebie from a processing company. Wonder how they packed the other 24 slides? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_wason Posted March 20, 2021 Author Share Posted March 20, 2021 I was able to place 24 cardboard slides in this box. It was sort of a surprise thy fit as nice as can be. Oh, it's a slide box.
