Re: Polaroid Slide Film

[P3D <norml@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used this stuff. I think the effect of the grain is interesting. It
also produces moire patterns at some magnifications on lenticular screens.
It is denser than conventional films. The emulsion is VERY fragile. Great
care in mounting is required to avoid scratches.

IT DEPLOLARIZES LIGHT!

You must either modify a TDC to put the polarizers in front of the slides or
use a projector like the Triad that already has the polarizers in that position.

All in all, an interesting material for some projects.
