Hi B....
no, I'm not on ANY 6th floor mailing list....Run of the mill professional transparencies are 3x4 and/or 4x5 inch. (below)
35mm Slides are individual 35mm Negatives housed in a 2"x 2" mount...
120 Medium Format:
Medium format has traditionally referred to any film size in-between 35 mm and large format (4"x5" or more) sheet film. The most common medium format film is 6cm x 6cm with a frame size of 56mm x 56mm. The number of the frame is usually printed on the top or bottom of the frame. Medium format is often used by professional photographers because it offers higher image resolution than traditional 35mm (135) film. Other medium format sizes included 6cm x 4.5cm, 6cm x 7cm, 6cm x 8cm and 6cm x 9cm.
Large Transparencies:
Large Transparencies are a thin sheets of transparent flexible material, typically cellulose acetate, onto which figures can be printed or drawn. These are then placed on an overhead projector for display to an audience (or other assorted uses
). Large transparencies are typically the approximate size of a legal sheet of paper 8"x11", however they can range in various sizes.The size, I suspect, Dr. Josiah Thompson saw while doing his work at LIFE magazine was, 3x4 and/or 4x5 inch.
Over sized transparencies are probably 8x10inch range, I'd like to know who created those, and for what purpose. Ever keeping in mind, the larger the source transparency image, the simpler any image alteration becomes...
I suspect at least 800-1000 of the 1900 images transferred to the 6th Floor Mausoleum are Zaprduer film frames (of various transparency size and format).
