Dale Labs (which advertises in Popular Photography) will produce
a roll of slides from a roll of negative film. Cost is reasonable.
You need to ask that they not try to change exposure for each image
if the negatives come from a smaller than 24x36 mm format. I've done
it for one roll so far in Realist format. Looks pretty good, but not
quite as good as directly on slide film.

Sometime soon I will shoot negatives in my Nimslo, send the roll
to Dale for unmounted slides, then send the processed (but uncut)
roll to Nimstec for lenticular prints. Finally, if I ever get a 
Holmes type viewer, I could have prints made from the outer pair
of negatives.

Finally, imagine doing this with a View-Master camera at a wedding
and producing reels for the stars and all their close relatives.

Good luck.
