35mm Slides

Information About the different slides in your Slide Collection

35mm slides are the small, positive pieces of film, normally about 1.375" by .875", held by rectangles of cardboard or plastic so that they end up as 2 inch squares. They can be viewed with small hand viewers but are usually projected onto a screen. The size of what you see displayed on the screen is based on the distance from the projector. The further away from the screen, the larger the  Slides will display. In order to end up with 35mm slides you have to use 35mm slide film in your camera instead of print film and then have them processed into slides. This is special color reversal film.

Color-negative films produce color negatives, from which color prints are made.

Color-reversal films produce transparent positive imaged film that looks like the original scenes you photographed. These are cut into individual frames and mounted and you have color slides for projection.

The image advertisements many movie theaters show before the movies are usually projected 35mm slides.

It is 2" x 2" but with an extra large film area.

If your 127 slides have the film portions warped as in the slide below, forget it.
Your slide is damaged more than we can handle. You might want to trim them down and remount in a regular 35mm or 126 slide holder.
