As I think I mentioned in a posting a couple years
ago, I've noticed that some slip-in mounts are
fuzzy, but others are pretty clean/sharp.  Don't know
if it's brand, age, or batch.

If one is using it for hand viewing (like not having
a projector) then this doesn't really matter.

Once figuring out the "trick", insertion is pretty
easy (use a piece of carved film as a "guide-leader").

If one is using it for hand viewing (like not having
a projector) then this doesn't really matter much
(okay a teeny bit if you have George's eyes, but
if one is using slip-ins, one probably isn't that
critical).
