I shoot with a FED BOY, Realist 3.5, Teco-Nimslo, and Olympus OM2S (Single
Camera stuff).  For most situations, the FED is my camera of choice.  (I
shot a whale watch a couple of weeks ago and, even with rapidly changing
lighting conditions, the results were quite extraordinary.)  

Don't own a FED projector.  The one I saw at last year's convention in
Atlanta was impressive, but they didn't seem to have enough demand.  If an
American version becomes available for a reasonable price, I will probably
add it to my equipment.

Most of my slides are mounted in RBT mounts and viewed through a Realist Red
Button viewer.  The 7-perf format gives much greater breadth under these
viewing conditions than either of the other two narrower frames.  This is
great for me because I do many architectural/landscaping shots for my wife's
business.  These are invariably horizontal.

I purchased the FED from Joel Alpers at Rocky Mountain Memories.  Joel
adjusted the camera to "American quality standards" and helped me over some
early rough spots.  (I have now done twenty or thirty rolls without a
hitch.)  He is also a member of this list.

If you have any specific questions, I'd be glad to do my best.

Duane :)
