Re: Scala vs Reversal film

[E R Swanson <ers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul is exactly right. I believe the Compco Triad projector (designed by
Lutes) is the only one that was in common production that has the
polarizers placed correctly to project silver film (but it won't do MF, of
course). Maybe also the FedBoy that's remanufactured in Germany... not
sure re this. I think the FedBoy will also project superslide format,
which is about as close as you can get to MF without a hugely expensive
projector. There are a few MF projectors out there, but they're pretty
rare birds and I don't know how they're set up. But if all one wants to do
is view, sort of a non-issue...  :)
