If you can find a roll adaptor for a Century Graphic or one of the
small Crown or Speed Graphics you can shoot your slides. There were
adaptors made for 6x6 as well as 2-1/4 x 3-1/4. The 6x6 requires a mask
for the finder. They were made but might be hard to find. I make my own
from thin brass stock or even kraft paper. Of course, the 2-1/4 x 3-1/4
slides can be cut down. The ultimate is having a 6x9 projector AKA
lantern slide projector. The quality of projected 6x9 transparencies is
not to be believed.
If you buy a Graphic the best lenses were the Kodak Ektars. The
cheaper lens on the Century is a Wollensak triplet of good but not
outstanding quality. The best of the bunch was the Kodak Ektar f/3.7,
105mm. This is an Altman Heliar of outstanding quality. The same design
was used on the Ektra and the Medalist camera. It was also used for the
50mm and 75mm Enlarging Ektar lenses.
However the 101MM, f/4.5 Ektar is also an outstanding lens and much
more common.
I would avoid the Wollensak lenses made for Graflex. Wollensak made
excellent shutters but some awful lenses.

The Graflex Century Graphic looks interesting.
But I do like to project 6x6 120 film slide images.
Thanks for all the ideas!
