<<  I've been penciled in to have some of my slides shown at the next Third 
 Dimension Society (North West) meeting in July.
 
 Being a Belts and Braces man I tend to carry several 3D cameras around
 on days out and these tend to be different formats (TDC Colorist (5P),
 FED (7P) & 2 XA2's (8P)). 
 
 I mount all my slides in RBT mounts and use window sizes from 16mm to 31.5mm.
 
 The question to anyone who projects regularly is - 
 
 Is there any technical problem projecting a show with mixed window sizes ?
 and even if it is technically OK 
 Does it breach 3D show etiquette ? >>

You've seen the shows at the Stereoscopic Society Conventions - imagine a
format, and we've had it! Including irregular shaped masks!

If the picture looks best in a given mount size, then use it! In my opinion,
many images are made worse by NOT being masked!

And using RBT mounts will ensure that the projectionist gets a relatively easy
ride!

Incidentally, can I book your show for the Stereoscopic Society meeting in
Bournemouth next year?
