Which primarily goes to demonstrate that "proper exposure" can only
be determined by including reference to the ultimate intended viewing
method.

It also shows what an amazing job Alan has done with the light
box for the Saturn viewer.  The current version features strips
of mirrors that both even out the light and direct more of it
toward the slides.  It's a *very* bright viewer!  :-) If need be,
however, it can be made a little less bright by covering the
mirrors with white reflectors like those used elsewhere in the
lightbox.

When you shoot your in-camera dupes for mounting in Gepes for your
show to be projected at NSA - Buffalo, you won't want the slides
to be as dark as you plan to make them for your hand viewer.

You are going to do a show, right?  ;-)
