  Great intro Mark.  Welcome to the list.

  You might want to consider one of Dr T's halogenized
Red Button viewers.  The bright light and good lenses will
make your slides look better. You can get european format
mounts (I recommend the Albions from Reel 3d) to mount your
twin camera shots in. They are 7 perf wide rather than the
eight you are shooting.

  Then if you are looking for a camera you can carry around
you might want to get a Realist (which I have) or Kodak stereo.
Compared to a Minolta 7000 they are fairly cheap (but good)
cameras.

  I haven't tried projection myself so someone else may
have some advise.
