*****  If there was a commercial service that provided you with one hour
turn-around E6 processing with perfectly aligned slide pairs, what would
that be worth to you per use? What additional options, if any would you want
to select from? 

Definitely R-mounting and 2x2, are there others? 

Has there been any experimentation with a means to join a pair of 2x2s? If
the chips were precision aligned in their mounts, a means to join two
standard slides permanently/semi... for storage and hassle free projection
might be a versatile solution for the future? I suppose a different
projector/slide carriage is about all that's needed? Does it exist?

Thanks,
Larry Berlin
