Over the past - I can't remember - number of years, I've helped
Hasselblad USA teach Hasselblad workshops on the CA central coast.
Over the past few years, a number of participants used H and V
cameras with digital backs. The other participants use chrome film.
On the Wednesday evening after the weekend shoot, we would hold a
slide show of participants work. The digits via a computer and
attached digital projector. The 'real' photographers via a Hasselblad
6x6 PCP-80 projector. We always projected the digital work first,
because, as soon as the first 6x6 transparency hit the screen, all of
the digital work was immediately forgotten. The room filled with WOW
OOOOO Aaaahhh, etc. Those noises were never heard during the digital
projection.
The difference between looking at a transparency projected via a good
(even a crappy) projector, vs digital files projected via a digital
projector is like night and day! The dynamic range and color
vividness of a real transparency projected, cannot be remotely
challenged by digital projection.

Peter,
It is not the unreliability that disturbs me. It is the dim, fuzzy images that
irritate me. The company at which I am employed has the finest digital projection equipment. but the results are pathetic.
Until you have seen what a 6x6 cm slide projected by a Rollei or Leica 6x6 projector, you could not appreciate the difference.
