      Thank you for the well composed response...

 I only experienced this on a few slides, less than 5%,  but others have
experienced it on a lot of my slides... so my question is, what % of the
population would experience consistent miniaturization of the slides vs. the
viewers like me who barely experience it at all?  I know there is not
published stats on this...but those of you who have showed your work around
a lot, how often have you experienced this.  (those that use wider than 65mm
base)
