Projecting 6x6 is so great, mainly with images taken from a Xenon

Hi !
I'm "jumping" into the discussion since I like projecting medium
format slides as well.
Actually I have 2 projectors for 6x6 slides. the first one is a
French-made SFOM MALMAISON with an old-style 220V / 300 W bulb, bought
used at the end of the seventies. This SFOM projector uses bulbs of a
different kind with respect to the Rollei P11.
The second is a Leitz Prado Universal recently found on eBay. The
Prado is fitted with a 24V / 250W halogen bulb.
For the SFOM, I have some proprietary SFOM 6x6 trays for slides mounted
in 7x7 cm frames, but I do not use those trays, I only use the one by
one slide holder. For the Prado I only have a one-by-one slide holder.
The SFOM is not very bright, something like 800 ANSI lumens which is
quite low according to current standards for video-projectors. I have
no idea for the Prado, certainly brighter than the SFOM but it is
still less bright than a modern video-projector.
I would recommend to prefer a projector with a 24V / 250W halogen
bulb, since those bulbs are used in various lighting devices and are
very cheap and easy to find. Old 110-127 V or 220 V bulbs are now
collectors' items and are much more expensive.
But for the most part, I wait until summer visits to Europe, and head to
a DM drugstore in Germany, for the 2.40 or 3.40 Euro processing charge
for a roll of 120, price dependent on whether sleeve or unsleeved.
Which other countries have similar prices to develop 120 slide film John
Probably none: Deustchland ist unser Foto-Paradies!
I have my 120 colour slides E6-processed by mail order in France, but
the cost is about 8 euro per roll which is still much less than USD 16,
even taking into account the current exchange rate (as of 2016-10-03):
USD 1.1 per 1 euro.
BTW I still have a few 120 rolls of AGFA SCALA unexposed, this can be
processed in several labs in Europe and in the US.
Recently, FOTO-IMPEX have introduced a B&W film named "ADOX SCALA 160"
to continue the supply of B&W slide film to be processed in the AGFA
SCALA process. So far this SCALA 160 film is available in 135 rolls only
https://www.fotoimpex.de/shopen/films/adox-scala-160-bw-13536.html
and they di not offer 120 rolls yet, but I'm following what ADOX-FOTO
IMPEX is offering, I would no be surprised if they offer B&W slides in
120 rolls soon.
