They used to make slide viewers, small magnifying devices that you could
rip through 20 or 30 slides in just a few minutes, the best way to
describe them was a loop with a light source under a white diffuser, and
a slide feeding mechanism. Now that I think of it they were first
cousins to coin grading viewers, which were pretty much the same thing
except with a reflecting light source. I had a couple of each back in
the day.
I guess that makes me even more of geek than most.
The good thing about them was that they used ~3 volt flashlight bulbs so
they ran pretty cool, (one of mine had an AC adapter wall wart, the
other rand exclusively on batteries, (though one of the coin viewers
actually had a 7 volt bulb with the same base as old style Christmas
lights. I haven't seen any of them advertised in years, but if you
could find them anywhere it would be New York.

Um no what i want is slide projector that jsut isn't so hot as the old
ones... more energy efficient...
Need something that I can zip through .. grab box, insert slides, look
at a full roll in under 2 minutres..
It's a matter of being able to takeall the photos from a certain month
or two period and pull out
a specific theme, perhaps, or just the best stuff...
I have a good light box, it's jsut clumsy and hurts my eyes because I
can't see them without a 10x magnifier.
But I did wonder if there was something that read slides -quickly-,
real time, and put them up on a monitor.
oh well

If you could setup a copy stand of some sort I think you could output

It would probably be better ot just shoot images of the slides and
review the full res files on your monitor. Some sort of copy stand
would probably allow you to quickly image a set of slides. It would
be easier if you could use a simple slide duplicator but the APS-C
sensor would be a problem with that.
Good luck!

MOre and more difficult to look at slides on a light box.. I've got
and old Kodak Carousel and one of those
feeders that you jsut stack 40 slides in and use it as a substitute
for the carousel... but the old projector gets
mighty hot really fast
Bottom line - what do you guys know about "energy star" savvy
projectors - I'd like to get more into reviewing
my slidesand getting what I consider the better ones scanned. NO
problem here scanning them - but it
would be good to project them for review .
A really cool thing to have would be something that you could feed
the slides into and it would come out on your
Tv screen or a monitor for review. Does such a thing exist?
