Who needs slide mounts?
Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2011 9:57 pmI have started digitising my slides using a D7000/55 Micro/ES-1 setup and a studio strobe + softbox for illumination. I'm really happy with the results (much better than I had hoped) and will most likely discard the slides once digitised.
Now, parting with old slides that I have now on file is one thing, throwing out 1-2 thousand slide mounts is another. These babies used to cost a fair bit. I only used GePe mounts and mostly the thick double-glazed anti-Newton ones, because my Rollei Twin projector liked those best. I'm not sure I can bring myself to just throw them away, even though they have no practical use for me anymore.
Hence my question, does anyone have a use for them, for whatever purpose? Please let me know soon because they're taking up a fair bit of space and I need to get rid of them. I also have plenty of 50-slot magazines to go with them.
Cheers
Steffen.
