Cheaper only since you dont need to print them out to view them.

satisfied on one shot
Den if there's a shot that you are satisfied with, scan it with a quality dedicated film scanner and make a digital print?

There will definitely be quality lost ... if you need the critical sharpness and color quality ... you got to pay for the print ...
If you are just printing 4R then there is no issue ... a scan and digital print will suffice.

You won't print it too, for no reason. Friend you have any idea how much is one S8R print from slide?

Its no joke when you compare a Rodenstock lupe (>$190) vs any other lupe less than $190. Go to CP and bring your own slides. Use their variety of lupes and see for yourself how an expensive lupe makes a difference to your enjoyment of slides. Surely you don't want your viewing of slides to become a torture.

Well, i don't know about the price of a S8R printout. But i do know that a 4R from slides is $1. So i can imagine the high cost.

For your info ... it is $20 for a S8R print from slide.
Do you intend to get a slide projector? If you do ... you just need the cheapest loupe and light box available ...
Anyone know the price of the leica p150 projector? izzit still selling in the shops?

You will understand what I mean ... when you compare the cheapest setup with a moderately priced setup ... I iterate again:
Combo 1: GEPE Slimlite Panel + Schneider 4X loupe-$400?
Combo 2: Cabin Slimlite Panel + Rodenstock 4X loupe-$200
Combo 3: Kaiser Slimlite Panel + PEAK 8X loupe-$110
Combo 4: Uncorrected Light Box + plastic loupe-$40
Rough estimate ...
combo 1-3 please add another $20 for a/c adaptor
Please dun flame me ... if not 100% correct ... :embrass:
