The projector used at the Third Dimension Soc (NW) meetings is one
Marcus Warrington mentioned last week - It is was built by Ken Smith
(who is the lynch pin of the meetings) and is designed to take multiple
formats including full frame 35mm and medium format slides.

What I was concerned about was whether the lens seperation would need to be
adjusted if the window size varied.
But thinking back to the 'International' shows this has not been a problem
in the past.

I presume it is only a problem if the chip centre to centre distances varied ?
