Hi Jerry!
About projector, I'd recommend not buying too cheap a projector. Spend som
extra money to get a quality thing with a real good lens.
I have a ZEISS ROYAL AFS with a Super Talon 2.5 and it's a real well made
piece of equipment that will serve me for many years. Autofocus, of course!
Buy a well known brand with good optics is what I recommend.

Subject: [OM] Slide projector sizing?
Date: Wed, 1 Sep 1999 21:39:47 -0400
Good Evening. After taking only prints for about the last 11 years, I've
started to use my new and recently refurbed OM2n to experiment with some
slide films.
Today, I picked up a developed box of Fuji Velvia that I took to my local
Ritz who had them developed at the local Kodak processing center - a Qualix
I believe. Not sure that I'm comfortable with this arrangement. I'm not
sure why the Kodachrome that I dropped off supposedly takes twice as long -
must go somewhere different.
Anyway, I dragged the old GAF projector and 40" wide silver DaLite screen
out of the closet. Trying to get an acceptable image size and quality , I
realized that it is time to replace these items that were bought in the
(yikes) 70s!
I'm looking for assistance in figuring out:
- what's the best surface to project onto that is available in a reasonably
priced new screen?
- what kind of projector to buy?
- does autofocus work well on slide projectors - is this a feature worth
having?
- what's the formula for determining angle of view at a given distance (how
do I select a lens/ screen combo)?
I'll usually have only 15' between the projector and the screen.
