carousel slide trays
January 9, 2006, from Lloyd Erlick,
I saw a half-dozen Kodak carousel slide trays at the Goodwill the other day. Ten bucks for the lot. And I didn't buy them. Am I backsliding? regards, --le ________________________________ Lloyd Erlick Portraits, Toronto. voice: 416-686-0326 email: net: www.heylloyd.com ________________________________ -- |

carousel slide trays
I don't think he did BTW, but here's my 2 cents. I have a pile of trays and
three Carousel projectors, all Goodwill, I have suspended shooting slides for a bit since my local lab is terrible, but will get back into it this spring after I locate another lab or rebuild the E-6 processor someone gave me. My gut feeling is that E-6 will be with us for a while yet, since it is much easier to scan than negative for most of us. I don't project my "keepers" but make dupes, my vacation and personal works gets projected, too. One thing to look for is a stack loader. Then you can run through slides quickly when you get them back without having to load trays first. Cull the slides and store the good ones, trash the culls immediately. If in Plastic reusable mounts I save the mounts for my dupes, which I have returned unmounted. -- darkroommike "Jean-David Beyer" wrote in message ...

Most of my trays were bought at a thrift shop for a dollar or two each. I have a bunch of unused ones but they don't wear out and will eventually be used. OTOH, something you don't need or can't use is no bargain no matter how cheap it is. -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA |

I bought a projector in 1980. I even bought a stack loader back then. But somehow my attention wandered from color work of any sort, and even the carousel trays I have seem too bulky. It felt very weird to walk away from such a good deal. I love the look of a projected image. Black and white slides are terrific, too. But if I think about time and effort and where I'd put them, it's into black and white prints. regards, --le ________________________________ Lloyd Erlick Portraits, Toronto. voice: 416-686-0326 email: net: www.heylloyd.com ________________________________ -- |

It's clear that Kodachrome won't be around forever, and when it goes so will my slide shooting, most likely. I have many, many thousands of slide shot over the last 35 years or so; all are in Carousel trays, and I keep two spare projectors. I've recently stopped picking up bargain trays like that, as I have enough to supply my probable future use. BTW - despite proper and careful storage, only the Kodachrome slides from a few decades ago still look good - most of the E-4 and E-6 stuff has shifted. And transfer slides done from 5247 cine stock are almost completely blank! |

If you can also get a good programmable dissolve unit at a good price, I'd say so. No power point presentation can match a good old fashioned slide show... |
