I suppose it depends on your definition of "vintage views."  There are tens
of thousands of VM reels from the 40s 50s and 60s out there - that seems
like a lot of vintage views to me.

There's no doubt that 35mm is the king, especially with regards to
projection.  I'm not aware of any economical way to project medium format
images.  The relative merits of 35mm and MF are best grasped while
alternately looking at slides in both formats.   Hopefully there'll be a
chance to do some of this at Mesa.   Jim Harp
