I have just checked and you can still buy this model, so I shall give that some serious consideration.

Thanks for the suggestions - alun and fatspider.

Reflecta still make projectors and one of their models has a screen + mirror as fatspider describes, although the screen is portrait, so landscape format slides would appear quite a bit smaller than portrait format ones.

I might look on ebay, although I am allergic to it

You could well be right.

I had a look at some of mine taken on my KX all those years ago and they are still in perfect condition, regardless of whther they are in their original cardboard / plastic mounts or are glass mounted

Thanks for the suggestion.

However I am not looking to 'copy' them, I just want to view them using something slightly more modern than my existing slide viewer and will then decide which are worthy of being scanned

I could use a lightbox, but you don't get any magnification.

No. 4 for me.

It is always difficult photographing rough water as it always looks a lot flatter in photographs for some reason

I am just wondering what everyone does about viewing 35mm slides (for those of you who have them) :

I spent part of the afternoon recovering some of my 35mm slide collection from long term storage, with a view to scanning some of them.

My slide projector died many years ago and I just have a basic Agfa slide viewer, so I thought I would look online at the modern versions of projectors and viewers.

I was really surprised to find that hardly anybody makes projectors and the slide viewers are incredibly basic.

I thought that somebody must by now be making projectors and slide viewers with an LED light source and other upgraded features, but no

Just a reminder that you do have to specifically take a photograph for the competition (within the relevant time frame) and not just submit a photograph from the archives

I'm in

I thought that I had better take something before the weather goes back to dull grey
