I have talked about photographing a good screen in the past...the speed would obviously outstrip anything that a scanner could do. The trouble is, that my kit is still in the UK and my attempts here have been not so good. I did get some good MRI film onto jpeg with a Nikon D50, these came out really quite well. Scanning was taking about 10 mins per slice, I took the entire plate in 1/1000 of a second. Obviously the rewards a huge when it works.

My lifetime collection of 8mm was projected onto a 12x10 screen of 2 optical glass plates...with wax squashed in between. It was very, very good, but I did have pro camera equipment to film with.

We all know just how good slides are and I'm convinced that good shots can be made with a screen, but I have yet to prove it. Has anyone got their old 35mm projector at hand?
